Qmail Redirects and MailNameRedirect.php

I have a new twist on an old problem. I have read a couple of posts regarding the issue of the .qmail file not being updated properly when a redirect is changed. The following posts are good reading on the subject:

http://forum.sw-soft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26171
http://forum.sw-soft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25519

Actually prior to finding these posts I found the FAQ on the Plesk support site at the following location:

http://faq.sw-soft.com/article_16_789_en.html

I did as instructed, downloaded and overwrote the existing MailNamesRedirect.php file.

The problem I am now experiencing is that I can't update the redirect from the control panel for the broken redirected email address. It only affects the address that I need to repair. I can disable redirecting, however I can't re-engage it. I get an empty javascript alert dialog and the redirect remains disabled.

I replaced the new MailNamesRedirect.php with the previous, aparently broken one to try and fix the bug that I have introduced, however that doesn't fix it either. It seems that email address is cursed.

I have manually written the .qmail file and adjusted the row in the psa.mail table so that it now works correctly however if I try to use the control panel to make changes to that address in the future I am guessing it will have the same result...I have no reason not to assume that.

Anyone in the same boat?
