Adding "10 Monocerotis" to Observing List adds object with name "Burnham p.m. stars 89"

In Sky Safari Pro v 6.3.2.46, searching for "10 Mon" or "BUP 89" finds the star 10 Monocerotis but adding that star to an Observing List adds the object with a name of "Burnham p.m. stars 89". That text is found on any of the Catalog Numbers listed in Object Info. Has anyone else seen this? Screenshot below.

    It turns out that "Burnham p.m. stars 89" is a reference to the 89th entry in the list of proper motion stars catalogued by Burnham, which goes by the discoverer code BUP in the Washington Double Star catalog. The name displayed on an Observing List containing the star 10 Mon should be changed to 10 Mon or BUP 89.
