did the reqs for MCSA:SEC change or did Microsoft screw up?

I got an email from Microsoft this morning congratulating me on my newly earned MCSA, shortly after I got another one congratulating me on my MCSA:Security!
Now as I understand it I need 5 exams - including 2 security exams for the specialization.
here are the table headers from http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcsa/security/windowsserver2003.mspx and I listed the exams that I have done
Core exams on networking systems (both are required)
70-290 & 70-291
Core exams on client operating systems (choose one)
70-270
Security exams (choose two)
Security+
here is a section from my microsoft transcripts

Question for you:
I took the Sec+ yesterday. Prometric has my pass record, but they haven't updated ComTIA yet. I guess they want to take the full 5 days:). Once CompTIA has it, and I submit it to Microsoft, how long does it take to show up on my record?
Thanks.
I emailed Microsoft to confirm, and sure enough, they confirmed that I had met the requirements for the MCSA: S.

I can't wait for CompTIA to update their records so I can start that process!!!

I passed the Security+ exam yesterday and hoping they update my records as SOON as possible.
Now, I've only got four more exams left......yikes. Working on 70-298

This is what they show now. I wonder if you have A+ and Security+ to satisfy Core1, will it also trigger Core2 since it is only Security+?
