Dell Command Update 3.1 return/exit code wrong

I have updated to Command update 3.1 from 2.4 since command line support has now been added.  Now I have noticed I no longer get a return code showing a reboot is required.

For example this is part of output from an update log after running using command line:

Downloaded updates (4 of 4)., 330.5 MB of 330.5 MB transferred (100.00%)...
Installing updates (1 of 4). Update Name: Intel Management Engine Components Installer
Installing updates (2 of 4). Update Name: Intel Chipset Device Software
Installing updates (3 of 4). Update Name: Intel HD, HD 4200/4400/4600/5000/5100/5200//5300/5500 graphics driver
Installing updates (4 of 4). Update Name: Intel PCIe Ethernet Controller Driver
Execution completed.
Program exited with return code: 0

3 out of the 4 above drivers require a reboot and I get a return code of 1(reboot) in 2.4 but not in 3.1.  Even a BIOS update returns a 0.  I know the return codes partially work as I get 500 if no updates were required which is correct.  I use the exit code in our management software to execute reboots and rescans so this messes up stuff that happens after the update runs.

Exit codes referenced

0 Command execution was successful NA
1 A reboot was required from the execution of an operation Reboot the system to complete the operation.
500 No updates were found for the system when a scan operation was executed The system is up to date or no updates were found for the provided filters. Modify the filters and re-run the commands.
