bug report: WB5 [DOES NOT] kill some third party services [updated]

[update] The bug listed below no longer seems to be a problem with Synergy and the Spider issue turned out to be unrelated (or is no longer an issue with the latest WB5 release). I leave the posts below up as is in order to document my stupidity for all posterity. 
WB5 is causing a very odd phenomenon with both third party services programs I have tested. I first noticed this with the Station X Studios Spider render control software. It runs as a service in the background with a tray icon for access. If WB5 is loaded, not only won't the tray icon appear, but a check of the service itself shows that it cannot load automatically or manually. There is no problem running this service under WB4 (or earlier).
To test this further I grabbed another third party service program, Synergy, and tested with that. It will work if run in "log-on/startup" or manual mode, but if you try to enable it as a service, it fails entirely. It can be run neither automatically or manually.
Unloading WB5 allows both services to work properly.
I have tried to exclude both runtimes/exe's from WB5, but there seems to be no way to genuinely filter out services from WB5. And again, none of this is a problem in any way under WB4 or earlier. I have tested this under both Athlon and Intel machines under multiple graphics cards/generations of Nvidia products.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
