While that is great news for Kiriakos, it does not *solve* his problem of having paid for a meter that is susceptible to rather commonplace EMI. Has there been any mention of getting the *problem* fixed properly?
Yes, but it's too early for specifics, Fluke will be looking into it.

I agree, the all story looks like news flash it started here

It took three days to be confirmed , so to stand as an case .
I contacted the Fluke at Holland at 13-09-2010 Holland called Greece at the same day ,
got my first email from them at 14-09-2010 , talk to them at the phone at 15-09-2010 ,
plus three days to be confirmed plus an dead weekend ( full of action for us
)
its just 7 days so far ... and the DMM started it travel today , at the seventh day .
Tomorrow its expected to be on Athens ( Fluke ) at midday 21-09-2010 .
Dispatches to Holland at the next day ( they do not have an reason to keep it ) 22-09-2010
At this point I will stop speculating , because I am not aware if they will repair it or replace it.
And about the permanent EMI fix , my instinct tells me that they will need an month to resolve it.
The positive part are that at list there is currently awareness thanks to Dave and the video about the 87-5 , and its the first positive step, on the right direction .
If some one else had proven the issue before I do , my DMM today it would be alive .. vulnerable but alive.
Believe me, at this point its best to have an vulnerable but alive DMM, than a bricked one.
And to have all the time in the world, to wait for the EMI fix .
