Ardour is paying attention to the incoming controller message, and not
looking up the stored controller value. I'd appreciate it if you file
a bug report about this in our bug tracker
(http://tracker.ardour.org/). Not sure how hard it is to fix - we do
the parsing and compute the right value in the MIDI parser, but Ardour
doesn't use that value.
