Unsubmissible score that I can't improve

(I don't know whether to put this in NReality or N Troubleshooting, but I'll stick it in here anyway.)
I was recently caught in all the attention in the "Post a run!" thread about 96-1, so, naturally, I decided to have a go at it. It proved to be one of my most successful levels, as I quickly secured a top10, and eventually drove my demo up to 2nd wth a time of 106.600 just behind darkshadow and glib_jase, but I had an AGD-1 compared to their two AGDs; however, I didn't bother getting that last piece of gold, as I found it too difficult.
Now, upon submission of my 106.600, I discovered to my horror that I had been using N v1.4 instead of NRealityv6c2 to play the level. As a result, the score did not submit to Unreality's server. Now here is the strange bit. As you can see from the attachment, my copy of NRealityv6c2 "seems" to think that my v1.4 run was created in v6c2, which it was not. So, if it does think that my run is, as such, "legit", it should submit to Unreality's server without any hassle. But it does not. My NReality score still remains in 3rd, with a time of 103.875.
The fact that my unsubmissible demo is recorded as coming from v6c2 really annoys me. For, if I now beat the level on v6c2, with a score time of more than 103.875 but less than or equal to 106.600, it would beat the demo recorded on NReality's server, but not be recorded as a submissible personal best. So it seemed to me that the only way round it was to improve on my owm 106.600 AGD-1 to submit to NReality.
So. I got off to a promising start, with a 104.775 AGD-2 in the first minute. But bad luck seemed not to leave me. For in the course of the next ninety-seven minutes, I had to endure a build-up of frustration, anger, insanity, and eventually total mental breakdown, until I decided that I could not beat my personal best for the sake of my mental (in)stability. I did get extremely close, though, with a score of 106.575 once, and even a 105.225 with an AGD-2 in which the stray piece was missed with an easy jump near the beginning. But that was not good enough. I found myself still stuck with this 106.600 demo which was recorded as from v6c2, but from v1.4, and hence unsubmissible; and a 106.575 demo, definitely from v6c2, that would not overwrite my personal best, and also unsubmissible.
Is there any way that I can get my phantom "v6c2" demo submitted to Unreality's server as legit? If not, how do I overwrite my current personal best with a v6c2 demo of a lesser score? I don't want to play the level through the pain barrier again, after that experience!
