Support Forms Clearly Wrong -- Form 6251 IRA Recharacterization Explanation Statement

I needed to recharacterize a portion of both my and my wife's traditional IRA contributions as a Roth instead. I did two separate values--one for me, and one for her. Both values show up properly in the "IRA Contributions worksheet" form. However, the form 6251 Explanation Statement for the recharacterization is flatly incorrect. It pulled in the right dates and right dollar amounts (including interest) moved over, but the amount recharacterized is the SAME on both our explanations. It is clearly pulling from my recharacterization and using the value for both accounts.

 

The incorrect value doesn't appear to be pulled into calculations anywhere, I cannot edit the explanation statement manually, and I have already e-filed.
