Hi David Bray, the blog post [1] explains what we're trying to do. Notifications should have gone out for the comment I left (and it appears you got it), but we didn't send another notification for the status change simply for the sake of not spamming the heck out of everyone.

Have you tried your test case on ORM 4? That's what we be most helpful – confirmations that issues still exist.
