did you come up with a solution to this dilemma?

Terrific candid Robin. Sorry I can't help you with the RAW problem....

I FOUND THIS POST AFTER A QUICK SEARCH......
I wrote a small program for the correction of faulty CR2 files created by the firmware 1.04 version of the 40D. The error in the raw file causes ACR to reject the file, but DPP is less picky.
The program runs only on Windows machines (actually, it is a console application).
It can be downloaded from

http://www.panopeeper.com/Download/CR2CORR1.EXE

It can be started in a DOS window or in Run. It does not change the input file, rather it creates a copy with the small correction.
The input file name (the faulty raw file) is the first parameter, and the name of the corrected copy is the second parameter.
The program makes the change only if the MakerNote is in fact faulty, so if started with a proper CR2 file, no update takes place (although a copy will be created anyway).

What a great shot. That 40D and 50mm nailed this perfectly.
I take it you're happy with the new rig?
Sorry I can't help you with the RAW question. I'm just a simple grasshopper.......
