When in Vanish, the 'Stealth' bar state shows the Shadow Dance bar (repost from CurseForge)

[First, many apologies for reposting this from CurseForge - I was the original reporter, and try as I might, I cannot get CurseForge to let me create an account. 'Bad Request', apparently /shrug]
Original Description:
I have set my Bar 1 to be Bar 7 in stealth, and bar 8 in shadow dance. When I Vanish, for the period that I am in Vanish (rather than regular stealth), Bar 1 shows the Shadow Dance bar rather than Stealth.
This causes me to accidentally use the abilities for Shadow Dance after Vanish, which is completely wrong - I waste the Vanish because the bindings immediately break stealth.
This ticket was closed on CurseForge because it couldn't be reproduced. I still can reproduce it reliably in-game on the live servers. I notice the same problem with macros, if I have a macro
/cast [stance:1] Cheap Shot
/cast [stance:3] Ambush
then I see Ambush while Vanished and then after the Vanish buff wears off, it switches to Cheap Shot. I assume this is what you meant when you said it was at Blizzard's end - stances are screwy for Vanish.
If you have been able to make this work, I'd be interested to hear how!
Interestingly, I notice the problem doesn't occur when I don't set a Shadow Dance toolbar. If I only set Bar 1 to be Bar 7 during Stealth and leave Shadow Dance disabled, then I see the same toolbar for Vanish and Stealth.
OK, one more piece of investigation. These two macros:
ONE:
/cast [stealth] Sprint
/cast [nostealth] Ambush
TWO:
/cast [stance:1] Sprint
/cast [nostealth] Ambush
Should theoretically be the same (because stance 1 is stealth). However, if you put them side-by-side on an action bar and then Vanish, you can see that ONE works just fine - you see Sprint throughout Vanish and then into Stealth. TWO however, shows '?' during Vanish, then Sprint when Vanish fades.
It seems that [stealth] and [stance:1] are not the same. I've been able to get the behaviour I want using macros, but I still would prefer to do this with Dominos. Hope it helps.
I check [bonusbar:1] for stealth, and [form:3] for shadowdance. [stealth] is not used because that's also fired off for things like the Night Elf Shadowmeld ability.
