[gdal-dev] -unscale issue with multiband vrt

Hi All,
I am running into an issue with unscaling a multiband raster.  I am creating a vrt from 5 xyz datasets.  I use the following command:

gdalbuildvrt -separate -srcnodata -9999 mmi.vrt csv\*

3 of the 5 rasters are of the lower 48 states of the US, the other 2 are only the western half.  gdalbuildvrt works good, and pads the eastern half of the US with nodata values of -9999 for the western rasters.  I have to scale all of the bands, so I edit the vrt and add <Scale>100</Scale> to each VRTRasterBand

This displays correctly in gdalinfo:

When I unscale the raster, the Full US bands do fine, but the no data value for the Western US Bands isn't respected and the nodata values are changed.  Am I missing something in my vrt?  Any thoughts.
