[ shrug... ]  If you intend to take such a totally uncooperative
approach, then I can't help you.

I did *not* say this is a "wontfix".  I said it's not easy to fix.
There is a large difference.  What I was wondering about was whether
we could find an easier change that would help your actual use-case.
But, since you're not seeing fit to provide further detail, you'll
just have to wait till we can create a fix for the case as presented.
That's likely to be a year or two down the pike.
