Camera profiles for Nikon D810 reveal posterization

Question

The following profiles included with LR 5.6 & ACR 8.6 reveal noticeable posterization with the Nikon D810 RAW files.
Camera Standard
Camera Landscape
Camera Vivid
Camera Monochrome
For more details, there's a large discussion of the issue on DPReview.com, here
Additionally, shadow detail recovery in LR & ACR is less useable with the D810 RAW files. I am forced to use Nikon's Capture NX-D for better shadow recovery with accurate camera profiles, which significantly slows my workflow, as I prefer to do all imports and edits through LR & Photoshop overall.
As a point of reference, LR & ACR's handling of D800E RAW files is wonderful; however the D810 RAW handling is not quite there yet. On the D800E RAW, I'm able to move the shadow slider significantly, revealing more detail with no compromise to image quality. On the contrary, shadow recovery in the D810, using LR 5.6 & ACR 8.6, is less forgiving; increasing the slider will sometimes affect other elements of the image, producing a less pleasing result.
It would be be greatly appreciated if Adobe could address these issues in an upcoming update.
Thanks,
Rumi

It is possible that the shadow recovery problems are profile-related and Adobe redoing them might fix both problems, but if all Adobe-supplied profiles have the same issue rather than just the subset that also has posterization problems, then I’d suggest you make a separate post about the shadow recovery issue, including screenshots of what you see and example NEFs from the D800 and D810 taken in similar conditions for others to download and replicate the issue with.
That NX-D does something preferable to LR is probably not a good enough reason for Adobe to care, because the Adobe raw engine is not the same as the Nikon raw engine, as both are proprietary products known only to their respective manufacturers, so comparisons between Adobe handling of the same scene in different cameras were one is clearly bad, might have a better chance of being taken seriously.
