Even if this is violating the ACPI spec, any fix for this needs to be tested on the hardware (and I can very well imagine that the hardware might be violating the spec too, nothing new here).
So even if you had a fix, you need to run it on the hardware to verify that it actually works.
So the actual practical question turns into: do you have such hardware to verify your or anyone else's fix on?
Thanks.
