What is up with the potions from Barrel Sponges?

Ok, I mentioned it in the Pub 82 thread, but wanted it to have its own highlight if you will, for a better scenerly by the devs.

Not all potions are stacking with each other.

What is the difference between "crafted" Invisibility Potions and "Barrel Sponge" invisibility potions? The two have the same name, work the same it seems, but have slightly different hues (dont get me wrong this can be a good thing, the new hue is different than confusion blast and now the EC doesnt confuse the new invisibility with confusion blast).

Will these pots be able to all stack properly in the future?

Will current and/or future crafted invisibilty pots be able to have the coding of the new barrel sponge invisibility pots? For years now we have not been able to successfully use macros for invis/conf blast due to the client mixing them up, this change is a start, but it needs to be for all invis pots (and stackable).
Invisibility potions that you craft have some extra data applied to them that is a side effect of coming out of the crafting system. The potions that come out of the sponge do not have this data, and as a result will not stack with the ones that do (in order for objects to stack all data on an object must be identical to the objects it stacks with, most of the time you can't see this data). The hues are actually the same. Thanks for the report :)
