...or is it just me?
when blending 2 objects with a spot color assigned, the blends will not be the spot color.
or...
when you have objects blended you will open up the file later and the blended objects appear to have a color assigned from the Document color pallette
this stime i started with a new file with no colors in the document palette.
the furthest objects on the right and left are spot colors of the same assignment
the 4 objects in between are the blend. In this case, all colors in the blend were interestingly enough to be spot colors but just the wrong ones.
any ideas?
(was using the pantone+ coated color profile.)

It's not possible to blend two spot colors. The intermediate steps will be CMYK or RGB,

As long as the blend is "live" the intermediate steps are CMYK colors when using the eyedropper, what else is there to be expected? [:^)]
When we break the blend apart, each color is split up in two. The bottom color is a tint of control object 1 and the top color a tint of control object 2 set to overprint.
Correct as far as I can see and not a bug.What puzzles me is the behavior that "rimshotgraphix" get. Doesn't happen here.Are you sure you haven't messed with the Property Bar settings, like "Clockwise blend" or something?Doing that will give different results but not the way it looks in your screenshot.
