Doesn't really address my question. A rectangle is drawn by interpolating a square aperture. The round-end rectangle pads are drawn by interpolating a round aperture. Since the standard set of base apertures defined in RS-274X includes octagons, and PCB already flashes octagons for Pin[]'s with the "octagon" flag, it seems like somebody went out of there way to turn off interpolation of octagon apertures.
