Summary: SPELLLEVEL:CLASS does not override existing spell level

Initial Comment:
I'm working on the Pathfinder Bestiary and am trying to find a solution to the problem of creatures which cast as Sorcerers but can cast spells off the Cleric list as Arcane spells.

One solution I've found is to create a template containing several SPELLLEVEL:CLASS tags which assign all cleric spells to the PC's Sorcerer list. This seems to work but I've encountered one problem: If a spell can already be cast by both classes but at different levels SPELLLEVEL:CLASS does not reassign the spell to the new level, the source however, assumes that this should happen. For example the Bestiary has an Ancient Gold Dragon (casts as a Sorcerer, but with Cleric spells) as being able to cast True Seeing as a 5th level spell when it would be a 6th level spell for a Sorcerer (it's 5th for Cleric). PCGen does not make this modification.

This is probably a question for the coders but is this the expected behavior of the SPELLLEVEL:CLASS tag or am I seeing a bug?
