The URLs would certainly be handy for checking.  I think I know what is going
wrong here. If I'm right, then fixing this would require an extensive rewrite
of some of the data handling code.  Hopefully I'm wrong and you're hitting a
corner case that can be fixed more easily.

Not sure when would be able to look at this though.
