A little more information on this, we were able to get some packages tested
earlier today. Good news is the experience resulted in corrected behaviors
of volume buttons operation & music advance when the screen was off.
However, through some analysis we witnessed that applications were still
experiencing some blocking (bad/unexpected) while the shell wasn't
(good/expected). So we've just now completed some additional updates to
address, we should be rekicking a build soon. Again, when we reach the
point of having something we'd like to punish for qualities sake, we'll
send out a call.

As stated, under investigation. Most specifically as Thomas mentioned
potentially tuning trigger for full reinit/redraws (e.g. may not be needed
on a swipe to switch scopes)
