ETTR, BULB mode and LE

I've been experimenting with my EOSM workflow for LE photography.

I have ETTR enabled and Expo Override on and Expo Sim on.

I have ETTR time set to way beyond what I'm shooting at, and all other ETTR attributes set to off or zero. ML bulb is on.

What I find is that sometimes (sic) the screen flashes, about a second, between different exposures, ie light and dark, and I hear a tick, as if the aperture is changing.

The biggest thing I see is that the ETTR warning says exposure limit reached, but when I look in the ML bulb setting the bulb is 'right'.

So my question is, can the ML ETTR be made slightly more intelligent and give a warning when the bulb is set to x seconds, rather than the exposure limit reached.

Not sure I understand the issue; best guess: it's unable to meter a long exposure in LiveView.

A video of the issue would be nice, but I prefer not to look into this yet (sorry, todo list just getting too large).

Catch you at a quieter time 

BTW the main flag was that it would be nice if ETTR detected the camera and ML was in bulb mode and provided this ETTR bulb shutter feedback rather than exposure limit reached as now.

Not a priority.
