Observations on Felix 1.6.7.2 with Memory Serves 1.9.5.2

Last month I mentioned that:

I thought updating to Memory Serves 1.9.5.2 might help with this, but on
the contrary, we are now noticing another phenomenon that has us
wondering what's going on.
Since the update to the latest version of Memory Serves, it seems that
almost all of the translations sent to the server show my ID in both the
"Created by" and "Modified by" fields, regardless of which translator on
our team created the translation in question.
This seems to be true in all cases but one. All translations contributed
by Translator A show up in Memory Serves as the work of Translator B for
some reason. What we end up with is something like this, where the work
of the translator(s) on the left shows up in Memory Serves as the work
of the translator on the right:
Me --> Me
Translator A --> Translator B
Anyone else --> Me
I've checked the Tools -> Preferences -> User Name settings for all team
members, and they are set correctly both in Felix and in the .fprefx
settings files for each user, so I'm not sure where Memory Serves is
getting the incorrect information.
This is not a big problem in terms of getting work done, but it does
create some confusion when trying to figure out whom to ask about a
particular translation or glossary entry.
Has anyone else encountered this? If anyone has suggestions about how we
might fix this situation, I would be quite glad to hear them.

I'm not sure about what is happening with Translator A, but a new version of
Felix needs to be released to take advantage of the new login feature of
Memory Serves. I hope to have that new version out shortly.
