After R2 SP1 Upgrade Cannot Deploy OSD Task Sequences as Required

I updated from R2 to R2 SP1 last week and one of the new SP1 features is the deployment verification of High Risk Deployments like OSD task sequences.  When users try to deploy a task sequence, they go to choose the collection and see the new High Risk Verification prompt.  The user can hit OK and choose a collection as normal.  The next screen on the deployment wizard asks if this is an available or required deployment.  When choosing available everything works as normal but choosing required and hitting next should pop up another verification depending on the contents of the collection.  The user can verify that they want to continue with the deployment wizard.

However, Ive found that if the user's security role does not have access scoped to it for the All Systems collection and the All Users and Groups collection, choosing required and hitting next in the deployment wizard does nothing; no verification popup, no advance to the next screen.  Since we delegate access to our users based on collections querying their department specific OU, and they do not have access to the All Systems or All User and Groups collection, none of them are able to run required OS deployments.

I opened a case with Microsoft today but am curious if anyone else has any workaround or has seen this issue as well.

As a workaround, if you go to Collections -> Deploy -> Task Sequence it will let you choose "required".

Has anyone been able to determine or heard from Microsoft if this is by design or not? -Tony

Since this thread has been quiet for a few days, I sent an email to our TAM to see if I can uncover any additional details. If I find anything else out, I'll post it.

This issue is a known bug, SMS Bug 443147. Bug is slated to be resolved with CU2 for SP1, no slated date for CU2 yet. Here is my case # for reference: 215081113031805001. Microsoft's recommended work around is what is already posted.
