share paging (and counts) do not honor sys:hidden

I am using the sys:hidden aspect on folders that I want to temporarily hide from (everyone's) view.

Share does honor this to the extent that the folders do not appear listed anywhere in the tree or in the page-view when navigating to that folder's parent.

However, the sys:hidden nodes (all folders in this case) are still included in the pagination controls in the footer of the pane, and they are also included in the count for the tree-view on the left pane (I can easily make the "Too many folders" icon appear, when actually only a few of the many folders in that expanded node are visible).

Has anyone else noticed this?  Any ideas how I can fix this?

Experiencing this with 4.0e.

Thanks,
AJ

Actually it gets even stranger…

When I have a full "page" (or pages) of hidden folders and non-hidden folders following them, I get a pane with the flash "Drag and Drop Files Here" thing, and pagination controls indicating the total number (including hidden folders).  Go to the next page, there's my visible folder!

So you get empty pages where the hidden folders are, and then the visible node on a later page – where it would be if all the other nodes were NOT hidden.

They're either hidden, or they're not hidden.  They should act like they don't exist to the UI and/or to the user.  Not be counted in the lists, but then not displayed.

I'm sure with a little script to create 60-100 folders with the sys:hidden aspect, then add one or two folders and name them starting with "z" or something.  This bug should be clear-as-day.
