I do happen to know that the Sends are saved on a per-track basis 
based on a simple cc event.  If you insert a cc:79 event for 
whichever track is fixed to Ch.1A you *might* be able to get around 
your bug.

Use the following values dependant on where you wanna send the 
channel:

v:0 = use preset
v:1 = send1
v:2 = send2
v:3 = send3
v:4 = send4

Hope this helps.
