I spent far too long on this exact issue about 6 months ago before
giving up. Since this is really a bug, perhaps it should be reported
through bugreporter.apple.com. It would be really nice to get this
fixed.
It's unclear to me whether on the internal side there is a way to
keep track of the number of duplicates in bugreporter. All of the
bugs I've filed to date end up being duplicates, so I just feel like
there's little point unless someone is tracking the number of
duplicates internally like votes.
