I have a shape file with the following projection info in the .prj file:

GEOGCS["WGS84_ds",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Second",0.00000484813681109536]]

I'm using qgis 1.5.0 on fedora core 12.  I have set enable reprojection in the project properties and I'm using the google mercator projection to view some google satellite images overlayed by my shape but it doesn't work!  If I run ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -t_srs EPSG:4326 newshape oldshape I can display newshape overlayed onto the google images.  The prj file for the newshape is:

GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]

So the only difference is that the UNITS seem to be ignored by qgis even though ogr2ogr uses them properly.  So is this a bug?  I searched the tickets but couldn't find one like this but maybe I didn't get the correct search parameters?
