Issue with VBO and changing OP workflow states

I have installed Views Bulk Operations so that I can change workflow states in bulk, but when I attempted that it did not properly display any states to change to. Doing some investigation, I found that there are some issues between both VBO and the workflow module that apparently might be fixed in the newer versions. But since OP uses Features to install Workflow, I can't upgrade Workflow, right?

Am I stuck? Do I need to wait until OP Features Workflow is upgraded and in the meantime have to change many of my nodes to the published state manually? Yikes!
