Yes I had a simular problem..  but really it didn't show first up..  as I jump into the Tax Rate County page 
cust_main_county.cgi  and the first thing that I done was I hit Expand next to the AL, then I found myself in a form 
cust_main_county-expand.cgi ..  and I typed VIC..  but that was only due to the fact I didn't have a Australian state in 
the system..    Latter I discovered that the new customer form would not process unless I used my added entry..  This 
could be a bug..  not really sure...   All I say have a play and post your result back here..  It could be a Bug, or could be 
a problem on our understanding on how the program is meant to work.
