Form 8962 Reject - Over 400% but not?

E-filed return with Form 8962.  Modified AGI puts them right at the 400% poverty line (works out to 400.35962877% if you do the math - but ATX rounds down to 400%).  E-file rejected by IRS with a code that says "If Form 8962 Line 1 "Total Exemptions Count" has a non-zero value, then Line 5 "Federal Poverty Level Percent" must be equal to Line 3 "Household Income Amount" divided by Line 4 "Poverty Level Amount".  I've attached a screenshot of the form so you can see the actual figures.  Any idea how to resolve this or do I just need to paper file the return?

Interesting.  In prior years, the 8962 instructions said to enter 401 for any value above 400 (even fractionally).  This year, they say enter 401 for any value above 401.  Values between 400 and 401 get rounded down.  It appears that ATX is doing it correctly (according to the new instructions), but perhaps the IRS has not updated the e-file rules to match the new instructions?
