I might raise this as a change request then! If this was the documented behavior in the User Guide, then I do not see why it should be that any cases are "magic".

I am quite happy to live with the few exceptions where there is a comma in the name. As far as I am concerned this is really an error in the metadata so in these cases I will simply correct the metadata. In these cases if I really want something unusual I still have the manual entry option.
