MS05-019 Windows XP SP1 issues with raw sockets (nmap problems) and MTU

I understand Microsoft is working on updates of this security patch per
KB 898060 (as well as for WS2003 SP1). I have several questions:

- will the MS05-019 bulletin be updated with these issues (still listed as
1.0 as of 2005-04-26 08:33 PST)?
- is Microsoft planning on reissuing a new binary fix for MS05-019 after KB
898060 has undergone the necessary regression testing?
- is a new binary fix planned to be released out of cycle, or do we have to
wait until May 10 2005?
- are raw sockets enabled in the XP SP1 version of KB 898060?
- could advanced users request an alternate patch version that enables raw
sockets under XP SP2?

Disabling raw sockets is a serious issue for nmap users, and Microsoft's
suggestion to use Windows Server 2003 is not practical for many users (RAM
requirements for VPC is my biggest problem).
 
Good questions. I'd like the same answers too.

They didn't update the bulletin, but they did update the KB noted in the
'Caveats' section. This KB now notes 2 more issues with the patch (one being
yours).
