Racial Custom Abilities Overspent: Monster Creation Error

I'm trying to create a new fey monster in Hero Lab and I'm having an issue. When I create the new hero, I select "Bestiary Monster Creation" and I set the type to fey and go through and complete all the fields in the top part of the background tab.

Before I do anything else, the special qualities section has "Mythic Power" as a special attack and the validation says "Racial Custom Abilities: Resource Overspent 1 of 0." I have Mythic adventures and Ultimate Campaign turned off. The custom ability is just there as a default and I can't delete it. The class tab validates, showing 1-18 levels of the custom creation, but the name (entered in the background tab) is in red.

If add an spell-like abilities, or add anything else, that overspend goes up. In this case, I get it up to 5 of 0 by adding an evasion defense, damage reduction, 2 special qualities (the mythic power makes 5). The race is highlighted in red. Besides needing to "memorize more racial spells", that is the only validation error.

I actually don't even need the racial spells, but there's no option to turn that off either.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
I think this should still be on the bug list; I submitted one a couple months ago on the racial abilities being overspent and got an acknowledgement.
 
I sent an email to support last night and attached the .por file as instructed by Aaron. There's a few version update threads that mention racial ability overspends being addressed under bug fixes, so I'm not sure if it's still an issue or not. Obviously it is for me. Hopefully, there'll be a resolution soon.
 
Yeah, I don't doubt it. Some bugs are like moles, every time you think you've whacked them, they pop their heads up again. I've got bugs this week, so the portfolio should hopefully help me track it down quickly.
