The intent of the doom2 v1.9 recording mode is to allow v1.9 demos to be 
recorded. Not to be indistinguishable from the original. It is a convenience 
feature rather than an authenticity feature. You're looking at a program with 
a completely different input system; as a result I'm sure there are more than 
a few quirky differences like the one you mention.

If you want to make a case for fixing any particular oddities, email me. The 
basic obstacle is persuading me it's worth the effort, so hard examples of 
things-one-can't-do-without-this-fix is more likely to get me to act :-)
