Kickstarter.com limits pledges to $999? Anyone pledged more?

We ran into what appears to be a hard coded limitation on KS. Someone wants the Magnum Opus for The Book of Shadows Tarot campaign, and pledged $2000. He's a lawyer in LA.
Then it gets interesting. The charge goes through, but when he went back to the page after getting the "You did it!" message, another message popped up saying that "Something went wrong" and the total was not updated.
I tried it myself, and found that $1000 does that exact same thing, but $999 "sticks". For now, Andrea sent a message to KS support asking what's going on, but I suspect that they have hard coded the maximum pledge at $999. He can't select the Magnum Opus because it says that he needs to increase his pledge amount.
My guess is that the only workaround is to change the tier to $999 but that would leave $1001 not pledged to the total.
We know that another "deep pockets" Backer pledged $500 and selected "No Reward". Maybe to keep an accurate account we have to have him pledge another $999? Just thinking. That was my suggestion.
I am headed into town for lunch and to take Donna & myself to see Jurassic World...
Back about 4.
