Custom Now Playing-format in Messenger 2009?

(I have already posted this to microsoft.public.msn.messenger, but since no
real solution was provided there, I decided to post my question here as well.)

Hi, as some of you may already know, it's possible to customize the format
of the 'now playing' PSM by using a different plug-in than the standard one,
for example http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/58-Now-Playing

In previous versions of Messenger, all your contacts would then see this
custom format in their contact list. However, in Messenger 2009, the contact
list always displays "<song> - <artist>", ignoring any custom format
(although the custom format is still shown in a conversation window). Is
there any way to disable this and revert back to the old behaviour, maybe
through an undocumented registry setting?

Thanks and kind regards
