The apexafterrefresh event not being fired in Chart IR's

Question

Hi all,
I am adding additional functionality to IR reports using the plug-in architecture in Apex 4.1.1. A Dynamic action has been added to the "After Refresh" event for the #apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION jQuery selector.
This works fine in all cases except when no data is found in the report. This has been fixed in 4.2 so I can live with this until the upgrade. However, it also does not work when a chart is created in the report, the apexafterrefresh event does not get raised. Therefore my dynamic action will not fire. Looking at the apex_interactive_reports_4_1.js this event gets raised for the table element with an ID stored in apexir_WORKSHEET_ID ie:
apex.jQuery('#' + $v("apexir_WORKSHEET_ID")).trigger('apexafterrefresh', that.report_id);However this table element does not get rendered when a Chart is displayed and therefore the apexafterrefresh will not get raised.
In apex 4.2 the widget.interactiveReport.js has been modified to handle the no data found but not charts:
var lTriggeringElement$, lWorksheetId;
                        lWorksheetId = $v( "apexir_WORKSHEET_ID" );
                        if ( $x( lWorksheetId ) ) {
                            // If the table element containing data exists (ie when the report returns rows),
                            // use that to trigger the event.
                            lTriggeringElement$ = apex.jQuery( '#' + lWorksheetId );
                        } else {
                            // Otherwise, use the span holding the no data found message.
                            lTriggeringElement$ = apex.jQuery( '#apexir_NO_DATA_FOUND_MSG' );
                        lTriggeringElement$.trigger( 'apexafterrefresh', that.report_id );I have created a test case on apex.oracle.com - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=41357:1 In this example I simply display an alert from a Dynamic action with the following attributes:
Event - After Refresh
Selection Type - Region
Region - Interactive Report
As can be seen when the user navigates to the report the alert displays, however when you navigate to the Chart the alert does not display.
In my mind this is a bug and the IR reports JavaScript should be modified to raise the event apexir_WORKSHEET DIV Element instead. This would fix both issues.
Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?
Thanks
Chris.
