Ugh, yes.  To me that means that MDNPAD is actually wrong and should be
fixed to account for the implicit padding.  That probably would result in
requiring separate values for MDNPAD.  The current change as-is certainly
looks wrong (and would be wrong if the padding were accurate) so it needs
to be fixed to reflect reality.
