Volume changes with Variac setting

I've noticed that the volume changes significantly when I adjust the Variac settings in the Brit 800 Amp model. According to the Wiki, the volume should be compensated automatically and kept level during Variac changes. Has anyone else seen this, or can someone verify this? Don't know if this is a bug or not, or if fixed in Q2.0. I'm running Q1.06.
 
It's impossible to compensate exactly. Some manual adjustment of the volume may still be required.

I appreciate that and I love the Axe, but I notice that when I adjust the variac on the Plexi 50W High and Friedman BE amp models as an example over wide excursions 70% to 130% or so, I hear no perceptible change in volume, but on the Brit 800 model the volume changes quite a lot over the same variac excursions, which is why I thought the model may have a bug. Not a criticism at all, just an observation. Thanks.
