Over the last two days, I have spent 3 calls totaling to 2.5 hours with Turbotax support team (Thanks to them for their kindness, but not very helpful). This response is very helpful as it, at least, puts a frame to what they tookd 2.5 hours and couldn't resolve.
However ... the note above has a lot of "may" in there ... can anyone confirm if the update (on Friday) WILL fix this issue?
