dbvarname NOT ignored completely in CF8

Question

While dbvarname is supposedly ignored in CF8, we have
experienced an error thrown on proc calls that have dbvarname
specified for the IN parameters, but not the OUT parameters. This
code works fine in CF7.

We are trying to put a CF8 migration plan in place, and this
could be the show-stopper for us. Our codebase is huge, with
hundreds if not thousands of proc calls, most of which do not have
dbvarname specified for the OUT parameters.

Is there a way to stop the hard-error that results in these
cases? A configuration setting somewhere? We are on a time-table
for migration to support our next release in March 2008.

I am also quite disappointed that this was not addressed in the CF8.01 updater. I've moved onto a new position, and we're running into this problem with a migration here as well.

The regex pattern above looks for dbvarname="somevalue". There can be whitespace around the equal-sign, and the value quotes can be single or double quotes. Added the comment bit because the big bonus of dbvarname, while being totally ignored in CF since version 5, I think, is the documentation benefit.
