Changes to Do Not Disturb not working in Marshmallow while phone is ringing

[UncleMike]

For years I've had a "Priority Caller" profile that turns off silent mode, turns on Vibrate on Ringer, and gradually increases the ringer volume from it's previous value when certain contacts call.  It's been working fine until my phone updated to Marshmallow.  The phone is a 2014 Moto X.  After the update, when one of these callers call while Do Not Disturb is enabled, the settings are all changed (Do Not Disturb icon disappears), but the behavior of the phone doesn't change - it remains silent.  I know from helping others with similar issues, that some phones (it seemed to be manufacturer specific) don't actually change their behavior with regard to these settings until after the phone stops ringing.  Now I'm apparently in the same boat.

Here's my task, if it matters:

EscAlert (374)

A1: Do Not Disturb [ Mode:All ] 

A2: Variable Set [ Name:%silent To:%SILENT Do Maths:Off Append:Off ] 

A3: Vibrate On Ringer [ Set:On ] 

A4: Ringer Volume [ Level:1 Display:Off Sound:Off ] If [ %silent eq vibrate ]

A5: Silent Mode [ Mode:Off ] 

A6: Wait [ MS:500 Seconds:3 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] 

A7: Ringer Volume [ Level:3 Display:Off Sound:Off ] If [ %silent eq vibrate ]

A8: Wait [ MS:500 Seconds:3 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] 

A9: Ringer Volume [ Level:5 Display:Off Sound:Off ] If [ %silent eq vibrate ]

A10: Wait [ MS:500 Seconds:3 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] 

A11: Ringer Volume [ Level:7 Display:Off Sound:Off ] If [ %silent eq vibrate ]

I'm sure I can work around this using one of the methods from years past (I'll have to look at what those were), or even resorting to the less appealing built-in Priority mode.  But I'm wondering... can anything be done in Tasker (i.e. by Pent) to "fix" this, or is it yet another Android restriction we have to live with?

Also, workaround suggestions are also welcome.

Happy New Year everyone!

Hi UM,

if the DND icon is disappearing then Tasker's job is done, you could
probably consider it an Android bug, since it apparently doesn't always
have the expected affect.

When setting DND the radio buttons Until you turn this off / For one hour are blank. Can those options be added? Maybe that fixes

I had same problem on Marshmallow, I found solution with Xposed Framework.
This module fixes this problem:
