Hi Michael,

I'm not really familiar with that part of code myself, so this may be a 
longshot.

Does purging the markup cache of the page bring the description up to 
date? (add &nocache=purge to the page url you are viewing)

If so, try this patch and see if it works. Let me know if this does it, 
I'll check it into CVS.
