Subject: Help: Blend Modes Layer Styles BUG?!?

To the point - Blends applied in Layer Styles revert to Normal blend after I reload images.

Specificaly - I apply inner/outer glows - then apply a blend mode and save file.
I open the file and see the blend is dull. I click on the Effects layer and see the Blend function has returned to Normal.

I'm using CS2 and soon CS3 and I'm having a devil of a time with getting blend modes to stay as I save them. Is this is a major bug as it happens on two installs I have.

I tried changing my File Handeling in preferences. I switched "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatability" to Never and hoping to rule out older version compatibility issues and that doesn't help.

Help!! - As this is really a production killer. Reloading approved files requires me to go through various layers re-enabling the proper Blend modes.

After more testing I found out it is a bug using "Hard Mix" blending.
I've been using it for some high contrast blending lately . Well not anymore.
In the meantime I'm going to multiply surface effects layers to achieve more or less the same result.
