You could call it a bug, but on the other hand the BB compatibility
files have no way of registering the "until-ok" setting.

How about replacing it ? I don't know what the output from the show_blue
tool looks like, but if you just want an overview of the disabled
statuses then this CGI script will do it:

#!/bin/sh
. /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

(echo "<table border=1>"
 /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-statusreport.cgi \
	--filter="color=blue" --all \
	--heading="Disabled systems" \
	--show-column \
	--show-summary \
	--link \
	--embedded
 echo "</table>") | \
/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bb-webpage --color=blue --hffile=bb

exit 0
