Can't change government after Change Threat Level spy attack

[sffc1]

According to the 2009 game update log,

 

The spy operations of Incite Government Propaganda, Incite Religious Propaganda, Sabotage IRS Proficiency, and Change Threat Level will require the defender to collect taxes before changing the individual settings that these spy operations effect.

 

I had the "Change Threat Level" spy attack performed against my nation a few days ago.  The only other spy operations that were successful against my nation included Assassinate Generals, Gather Intelligence, and Destroy Money Reserves.  However, when I go to the "Edit My Nation" page, it appears to allow me to change my threat level, but under "Government Type", it says,

 

Due to recent spy operations against your nation you must collect taxes in order to change your government type.

 

Is there a mixup in the code that makes Change Threat Level lock the government type rather than the threat level?
