When will Reader 9's Runtime error for redirected Application Data be fixed??

Question

Has anyone heard when Adobe will fix Reader 9's Runtime error for redirected Application Data??  It's still happening with 9.1.3 for only users who have their Application Data folder redirected via Group Policy.
It's been going on for some time, as evidenced by the following link, and my own personal pain fighting this

I haven't read through all of the posts, but the general consensus I have is that the issue is in fact related to the redir
ection of the Application Data folder. The main issue being that the use of a UNC path causes the error described, with some mention to explicit user permissions on the root of the folder path.
I was just recently made aware of this issue in our environment. Apparently we've held off upgrading to Adobe 9.x because of this issue. After a little research, it was apparent that simply modifying the default Folder Redirection policies is not possible because the use of a mapped drive is not supported.
I haven't had a chance to test this yet, and may not be able to for some time, so I thought I would share this in case someone else might be able to test. The idea being to simply use a custom ADM file to force the redirection of certain profile folders. Again, I haven't tested this using a mapped drive in the path, but I have successfully used the same settings below to redirect other folders not available by default in Group Policy.
1) Copy the text between ----- Start of ADM ------ and ----- End of ADM ------ and paste it into a text file.
2) Rename the .txt to .adm.
3) Load the ADM template into a GPO.
4) Right click "USER Custom Settings", select "View", select "Filtering" and uncheck the option "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed".
5) Configure the "Redirect Application Data" option as enabled, and enter a mapped drive path.
6) Test.
I'm interested to hear if this is a viable solution or not.
