Subject:Absynth VST label not recognized in Acid 5.0

I've run into one annoying but minor bug dealing with the Absynth VST in Acid 5.0. It is recognized OK from a VST instrument scan and it shows up in the list, but the label on it is different than in Acid 4.0. The symptom this situation creates is that when projects created in 4.0 using Absynth are loaded into 5.0, it generates an error about missing this VSTi. I have to manually replace each instance of Absynth, set the appropriate patch, and save the project. I have listed below how Absynth is labeled in 5.0 and 4.0:

Acid 5.0:
In Mixer list: Absy L
In VST Instruments list:
Name: Absy L
Vendor: AbsynthVST

Acid 4.0f:
In Mixer list: AbsynthVST
In VST Instruments list:
Name: AbsynthVST
Vendor: AbsynthVST

I don't know if the Sony programmers will address this issue, but this is one of the oddities I've noticed so far.
