Touch Sprint WM6.1 ROM bug: Clear SMS leaves "dirty" screen

[monkeyboy]

On my Touch/Vogue, I recently upgraded with the "official" Sprint WM6.1 ROM. I believe I've hit a solid bug... In the threaded SMS page, Menu>Tools>Clear "Text Messages" is used to delete all SMS. In this new ROM, the colored wheel appears but then never clears the screen -- it just sits there. Luckily nothing really bad happens, and it appears that the clear function actually works (all SMS seem to be deleted), but its just that the screen never updates. The original 6.0 ROM doesn't have this problem (but of course isn't threaded)...
