FYI it appears as though this problem may not be effecting exact match search volume data from the API. We've run a few initial tests and with the tool logged in vs. API vs. logged out tool and so far it looks as though you can actually get accurate numbers (accurate in the sense they match the keyword tool when logged out) if you do not specify the client email in the API call.
This appears to be a quick fix if you need to pull down SV data in the meantime.
