It works that way on my copy of 3.6, also. I haven't tried any of the newer
betas yet, so I don't know if this has been changed.

One workaround would be to add a line like "Declare=FinalFrame=##" to your
command line or INI file, where ## is the number you set in the KFF switch. You
can then access the variable FinalFrame globally, in place of using final_frame.
It's annoying to have to maintain the same number twice, but at least it'll do
what you expect. :)
