If you are having problems with the older version, it is probably a bug that was resolved in a later version.  I did a quick check but could not find any issues regarding this.  I would submit this issue over to our support team as they have access to older versions and vs05. They can also verify this behavior for you so that you don't have to upgrade for no reason.
