Actually, grace note spacing was working as designed, only it was not particularly well designed. One could say it was broken by design.
In 2k5 it has been redesigned, only in my opinion it's not really any better. It just has a few more options, but the options I need are still missing.

Strictly speaking, the Chromatic Transposition was working as designed, too, it was just a colossally bad design to omit chord symbol transposition. I suppose I wasn't making a distinction between faulty design and faulty implementation, as I should have.
The old feature/bug "discussion" has been going on as long as there have been computer programs designed by one set of people for use by another set of people.
In my opinion it doesn't matter if the design is broken or the implementation is broken, broken is broken. If something doesn't work as it should, so that the end users are not able to use it properly, the end result is the same -- the feature doesn't work.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter what we end-users call it (feature that doesn't work properly or a bug), if the software company won't acknowledge that it's broken they don't feel they have a moral obligation to fix it.
Denial that there is a problem is always easier than solving the problem.
