Unfortunatly a LOT of work was done in this area for 5.3.
We did make it clear I think that people loading 5.2 should be prepared 
to upgrade to 5.3 as
soon as it became viable because we expectedt too many problems with 5.2 
for us to go
back and fix it..

So Unfortunatly I'm going to suggest the one thing you said you really
 didn't want to have to do..
(WHY can't you go to 5.3?)
