I'm not sure you can call this a bug, since it works correctly with
documents created by 3.01.  After all, since 3.0 was such a mess, why bother
making 3.01 backwards compatible with it?  Yes, I'll agree Microsoft should
have provided backwards compatibility since they screwed up in the first
place, but that's not the same as saying that 3.01 has a bug.
