Yes, we pulled the plug and try to fix it. The problem is that
allowing epstopdf we in fact obliterate openout_any becasue
epstopdf can write everywhere.
As long as we are not able to provide a restricted epstopdf that
only allows writing to subdirectories or similar we will
unfortunately not have this feature, althoug it is documented.
Best wishes

beloved by Italian restaurants with Chianti bottles instead of
wallpaper.
