pretty certain that was fixed a few years ago :)

I'd really have hoped so and lost an hour fooling with this assuming it was my fault. Probably still is, but seems a lot like it wasn't fixed.

Precisely. Got the car idling, and the timing marks on the pulley were extremely retarded, back about where the belt leaves the pulley. I would open the trigger wizard, adjust it (audible difference in idle), get the two marks to 10 and T (idle was stupid fast at this point), the instant I hit burn, there was an audible shift in the engine note and the marks were back at the belt departure point. The value I set in the trigger wizard would appear in my Trigger Angle/Offset field under Ignition Options. At various points in the day, I had anything from 35 to 80 in there and the marks on the pulley were in exactly the same spot (after a burn).

I eventually gave in and moved the damn CAS, but I was hoping for a software solution. I like to be able to fall back to the OE CPU as easily as possible.

I flashed this firmware version recently and I thought it went through OK. I looked at my mainController.ini file and the "signature" value is "MS2Extra Serial321 ", so I think the firmware is the version I stated...

Any ideas?
