Octane Area Light artifacts while motion blur is active

Hello, i'm having streaks of light on a moving area light with motion blur enabled (B part on the pic).
If i'm using emissive material everything is fine (A), but once i switch to area light octane gives me this undesired effect,
which looks like i'm having a cylinder instead of the light.
How to fix that?

Plugin doesn't export motion data for light objects. They are like static objects. To work around it, use mesh objects with emissive materials

Thank you!
Will it be fixed in a near future? I wonder why it's not meant to work ootb - i think many people expect the light to behave this way like in the real world.

Motion blur on lights are long-awaited topic, because light management was old and lot of things on todo list. I'll consider to look for this soon...
