$extmin and $extmax incorrect in dxf

When I save my drawings in DXF format, the \\\$extmin and \\\$extmax fields get filled with seemingly nonsensical values that my downstream software rejects.  I consider this a bug since it's a field that other software requires (in my case, PADS).  I've tried saving in all the different DXF versions and always get the same result.  Will this ever get fixed, as I see someone else complained about it a while back?  Here are the fields out of a DraftSight written DXF file:
