That is very strange, as I do not have a morningstar entry at all and 
the FT one starts:
http://funds.ft.com/funds/simpleSearch.do?searchArea=%&search=%1

which is still in current code - kmymoney/converter/webpricequote.cpp
Where did you get hold of these entries?

Do we need a better way of getting updated versions of these entries out 
to people?

TIA,

Ian
