Contracts sticking on Rule V returns

I have uploaded RVTest.zip with the dat files from the league where I recreated this issue.

I executed these steps:

Created a new Standard league.
Simulated to RV draft.
As Baltimore drafted 2B Kervin Suarez who had a minor league contract
Simulated to 1 day after opening day
Released Suarez

Suarez is now on the Red Sox DFA. But he still has the league minimum major league contract he received on opening day in Baltimore.

In previous versions, when I released the player I acquired via RV I would be prompted that his remaining salary would go to my misc expenses and the team he returned to would see him on DFA with a minor league salary. In other words, the contract used to be the responsibility of the team that released him. Now it is the responsibility of the team he is released back to.

This can potentially be even more problematic. In a separate test I drafted a guy RV, game him a fat long contract, waited until after opening day and returned him and confirmed that the entire contract was suddenly the responsibility of the team he was returned to.

Please let me know if I can offer any further details or if this was an intentional change.

Thank you
