Incorrect focal length in FITS header?

Hi,

I was examining FITS headers for some other issue, and noticed that the focal length reported in the header (FOCALLEN tag) is for my guide scope, not my imaging scope. If you change the focal length of the guide scope under the mount module and click "save telescope info", this number shows up in the FOCALLEN field of the next captured Light. I imagine this could cause problems with downstream processing. Don't know if this is due to the camera driver (Atik) or what... Anybody else see this?
