Summary: BONUS:SPELLKNOWN doesn't work correctly?

Initial Comment:
Note: this was my very first time attempting to create
a custom feat, so it's entirely possible I'm completly
wrong.

That being said, I believe that the
BONUS:SPELLKNOWN|CLASS=x;LEVEL=y|z  function isn't
working "correctly" (as the documentation leads you to
believe it should).

I've been playing with the Expanded Knowledge psionic
feat, attempting to create a version that grants 3
bonus powers known instead of 1.  To that end, I had
been following the entry for this bonus listed here:
%PCGEN PATH%/PCGen5100/docs/index.html

According to the docs, when I change this

SPELLLEVEL|1|TYPE=Psionic|1|(MAXLEVEL-1)[BONUS:SPELLKNOWN|CLASS=%;LEVEL=%|1]

to this

SPELLLEVEL|1|TYPE=Psionic|1|(MAXLEVEL-1)[BONUS:SPELLKNOWN|CLASS=%;LEVEL=%|3]

I should be increasing the number of bonus powers to
three.  Instead, I end up _multiplying_ the number of
1st level powers known by 3.  Case in hand: using the
original Expanded Knowledge feat will grant my psion
one extra power known, for a total of 7 powers known. 
Using the modified feat _should_ give me a total of 9
powers known, but instead it gives me 18.

Also, modifying it as I have would fill up as many
feats as my character had available instead of just
consuming one feat.

All in all, I believe this function is misbehaving.  If
I'm wrong, I would greatly appreciate an example of how
to modify the Expanded Knowledge feat to grant 3 bonus
powers known (without doing anything "freaky" to my
character -- like consuming more than one feat).

Unable to reproduce by changing Expanded Knowledge using current SVN.

The problem that I have is that the BONUS:SPELLKNOWN tag in the example is
appended to a CHOOSE:SPELLLEVEL tag, which doesn't follow the format that
is described for it in the docs and as such makes the whole construct an
unknown entity for me.

Tir, are you able to shed some light on this?

That tag is definitely not my forte. 

Michael, can you shed some light on this?
