While I can't speak for anyone at Microsoft, my experience is that they
don't typically fix bugs in Visual Studio with any kind of timeliness. I
understand there may be a VS2005 service pack this summer, and if that's
the case, you probably couldn't hope for a fix before then.

You might want to look into an automatic way to do what you need done, such
as using tools like Perl to process your code looking for common patterns.

That may suck, but unless your bug affects a LARGE number of MS's
customers, they're not going to go through a pach process (which is quite
lengthy and costly) for a single flaw, especially if there's a workaround
(even though such a workaround may be uncomfortable for you).
