I don't see any code for this in the client-code git repository.  So
maybe it is a local custom module?

Huh, it seems you're right. I didn't realize that :) We received that module from Andrew back in Nov 2011, but I guess it was never committed to the repo (assuming that was the intention) :) But it has served us well so far...

PFA the module. It's pretty simple, but I don't know enough (anything, really) about the bf client code to say how to fix it...
