"table add key" is a construct I rather had left out. If one has any 
chance to have an application defined primary key, or at least some 
surrogate key defined before the replication system is installed, that 
would be far better.

However, it should have filled in values for the new surrogate key 
columns. Can you create a self contained test case that shows the bug?
