Chimera.bin location disparity

[BinToss]

HXE (and SPV3.exe by extension) are writing chimera.bin to the correct location i.e. %AppData%\SPV3\chimera.bin.
However, I've noticed chimera 0.40.0.202 has suddenly begun R/W-ing its chimera.bin to C:\chimera.bin when run as admin...which is redirected to %LocalAppData%\Virtual Store\chimera.bin when run as non-admin.

It should have permission to access the user-space path we specify in haloce.exe's -path argument (e.g. C:\Users\Noah\AppData\Roaming\SPV3). So why is it accessing C:\ instead?
