Well.... yes and no.
The project(s) I'm working on currently is(are) not directly affected by this issue, so progress is not being blocked.
But my personal curiosity has had me devoting some testing energy away from it(them) and exploring the possibilities an output reference between scripts provides. Testing energy that would be 'wasted' if this issue is deemed a bug and fixed (well, not wasted; the learning experience is still valuable).
But it had been some time since opening this topic, and I was beginning to wonder if my PM to you had not been delivered. Thankfully, those doubts are now cleared.
But please do not concern yourself with my progress. I do this leisurely, so there are no time constraints; and besides I also have other tagging-related projects on standby to keep busy.
