Not here: VFO B comes to the same frequency as VFO A, but NOT the same 
mode (that's with the latest firmware).  A search through the archives 
reveals this had been a problem once, but was said to have been fixed 
several versions back.

Agreed, that's how it should happen. The pre-configurable offset is a 
minor refinement to save time (although it also has a different use for 
repeater splits).
