You might have been missing code to parse it or store it in an export,
so it got lost before it wrote the entry back out again?  I don't know.

If you're feeling community-minded, that business with having two
entirely separate bits of code to write out an etab entry seems silly.
(Maybe there are two different formats, I'm forgetting, but if so
couldn't they at least share common code to lookup the string names of
the options?)
