Agree with Brian (not David) on the point above. If a particular version of WordPress ships with a bug, it would be madness for plugin authors to build workarounds for specific version issues within their plugin.

It’s not quite hacking the core if you fix the underlying problem

David,

Thanks for your comment! I agree that users should not have to hack Wordpress in order to get anything to work properly. Thanks for your suggestion in using a unique function instead of the default name for it. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself. Oh well, when I get off work, I will probably look into integrating this. Hopefully WP 2.7.2 will come out soon with a fix though.
