export edge cuts using protel extensions. notice .gm1 (one as a count) as extension. board hose expects .gml (el as in level)
The only one *official* Gerber file extension is .gbr
The assumption "board house expects .gml" is false.
Depending on docs found on Google, edge cuts using protel extensions is .gm1 or .gml.
In any case, using .gm1 is *not* a bug.
