As far as being patient... the game's a little more than a year old... they should have had it all fixed a while ago...
I just did a quick run through up to the point of getting the quest completed, but it's utterly annoying to have to figure out a way around a bug instead of the quest being completed without a specific order to avoid the bug... what really annoys me is that I'll lose some really nice items... *mutters some more* anyone know if there's a way to move items from a newer save to an older one? If I can figure out how to do that it would kick butt, that way I could just do the quests over and still keep some of the nice things I've found...
