WinXP SP2 WebBrowser Control Bug

We have a software product written in VB that uses the WebBroswer control to
display html forms stored locally. Users then enter and submit data using
those embedded forms. I determined that the WebBrowser control (shdocvw.dll)
wasn't firing a BeforeNavigate2 event under SP2 when the user presses a
submit button. This worked fine until SP2.

Has anyone seen anything similar? Any suggestions?

I wrote a demo program that illustrates the issue.

Assuming there is no immediate relief, how can I get Microsft to address
this? I have some very big customers with hundreds of desktops using this
product and they want to upgrade to SP2. (I posted the problem and the demo
program to (e-mail address removed).)
