Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the fast response and the warm welcome :-)
I've moved my comment into RT-28754, so let's await Kevin's input. Will work on a test class as the next thing as you've recommended. I received confirmation of the OCA being processed just yesterday, so should be OK from that front.
