Catch-all setting for 'free' hosted domain

I have the catch-all on my username.plus.com mailbox switched off. I have been experimenting with mail to my 'free' hosted domain and it looks as if the catch-all for this domain is effectively on. Is this the expected effect?
[In fact, I was investigating how mailing-lists and the hosted domain interacted so was surprised to see an experimental mail sent to listname-subscribe@hosted.domain be delivered to my default mailbox even though the only alias on that mailbox is postmaster.]
Is there a way to control the catch-all setting for a 'free' hosted domain?

The catchall for your domains should be the same as for your main mailboxes.
I've performed some maintenance on your account which should have resolved the issue, can you retest for me please?

Like you, catch-all OFF does not work for my hosted domain name, so emails to anythingatall@mydomain.org.uk go into my default mailbox instead of being rejected.
A rather unsatisfactory workaround might be to create a junk mailbox, switch catch-all ON and point it at the junk mailbox. I am going to try this in the absence of a proper solution.

Edit: PUGIT Issue 374 raised (link)
Two users here have noticed the problem. Are there others? Perhaps more importantly, does anyone have experience that the problem does not occur, i.e. catch-all off on username carries over to catch-all off on hosted domain (as it should)?
Please visit the linked page and associate your name with the problem (or comment in the Usergroup Comments Forum (link)

@Mand: Note PJ's recent post which suggests there might be a working fix around which Ian might know about...

I've made a couple more changes, can you try this again for me please?
Failing this I will raise a problem for our development team to look into this further.

Quote from: pauloriordan I reported this same thing back in June, just after I got my new domain name. The problem was noted, but no solution was ever provided.
Paul, is this fixed yet? If not can you drop me a PM and I'll see if I can sort it.
