Nikon D200 & sigma lens


D200's AF-ON button was not usable for AF function with Sigma 100-300 f4 HSM lens. Does the bug still exist in newer Sigma lenses?This was a bug in many HSM lenses of Sigma when Nikon D200 was released. Sigma confessed to this & encouraged a fix. What about the situation now?

I know that Sigma is replacing the firmware on the bugged lenses in order to fix the problem:

Since that press release is dated quite awhile back, I would assume that the new lenses do not have this bug. I can imagine it cost Sigma something to offer all those free firmware updates and they probably set about fixing the issue right quick. To be sure, you could probably call them and ask:
