Warning!!
Disregard the workaround I posted above. I'm an idiot! I neglected to initially check the rosters of existing teams in my leagues after I swapped the names.dat. When I did, I discovered much to my horror that ALL the names of the existing players in my league were changed.
In short, while this eliminated the "Joe Bug" for me, it also systematically renamed every player in my universe. This is not a viable workaround and I apologize for presenting it as such.
