Obviously Irish Rail could program the system to recognise the smartcard on the Dublin Bus issued tickets but that would piss off the RPA

This issue does not effect bus+rail tickets issued by Irish Rail (photo on ticket)

Anyone know if this issue has been resolved?

Sadly not and unlikely to be solved until the RPA relent and allow Irish Rail to handle multi operator smartcards
