The preset is: Create snapshots using VSS - or is it not?

Thread needs solution

The user guides for update 3 (12497) and update 4 both state that for "default backup and recovery options", on Volume Shadow Copy Service page the default value is "Create snapshots using VSS". (Apparently all versions of UG back to update 0 state the same). On fresh install of build 12497 it is indeed so. On fresh install of U4 - 13544 (as it was in U1 11345 and U2 11639) the actual value is 'without using VSS'. If anyone decides to fix it in the next update, will the UG be changed to reflect the actual behavior, or will it be the code?
added:
But if U4 is installed as upgrade over U3, it inherits default option value 'Use VSS' , so that the task created in U3 with default options , remains with 'default options' after upgrade to U4.
