That would not solve this issue, as you have already detailed for COMBOSM, where you required using ZScript metadata. Opening the quest in 2.53, and saving it with the revised values did not fix it, FWIW; and I'm suspecting that there is something wrong with the allegro libs. Beta 2 was the last version using the 4.4.x libs prior to fixing the race condition. All builds after that point, use your newer allegro lib set, and the other compatibility issues also seem to start with that change; and there were no other changes made that would or could affect these things.
