Hi Marcus,

It has been established that the bug manifests in the original Sansa e200 firmware, and that the solution solves it. (The same is true for the rockbox firmware)

Also, the USB product ID provided by the rockbox firmware is exactly the same one provided by the original firmware. I have just verified this again on my own device, and have also discussed this with rockbox developers a few weeks ago.

What may confuse you is the fact that the original Sansa firmware allows for two modes of operation: MSC and MTP. In each of those modes, a different product ID is reported. (This factoid, too, was again just verified by me)

Rockbox's firmware uses the MSC product id, since it doesn't support MTP. Thus it provides the SAME functionality as the original firmware using the same product ID.

If I have failed to convince you, please explain why you think it's a rockbox bug.
