Unfortunately, it's the WM build that HTC is using. This topic, surprisingly, has been increasingly coming up. I've had this issue like a year go on my Diamond and nobody seemed to bother. lol anyway I did stumble across this program WifiProfiles.

What it allows you to do is create profiles for wifi networks with static ip addresses, then you can create a profile for evdo to revert all changes. Sad to say this is the only workaround so far.
