Disabling and enabling XDS security in code not working as expected

We're using Dynamics AX 2012 R2 CU7 and using XDS policies with some of our security roles.

The problem is that one role needs to confirm a sales order that was entered by another role. Both roles have XDS security policies on them. During the confirmation, XDS security kicks in and causes issues, so the game plan was to use the XDSServices class to turn off XDS security during the confirmation process.

This is effectively what is in our codebase to do the work in the FormLetterService class.

[SysEntryPointAttribute]
FormletterOutputContract postSalesOrderConfirmation(SalesFormLetterConfirmContract _contract)
{
    XDSServices xdsServices;
    formLetterContract = _contract;

    xdsServices = new XDSServices();

    xdsServices.setXDSState(0);

    this.run();

    xdsServices.setXDSState(1);

    return outputContract;
}

Here's where it gets fun. If CIL is enabled, this does not work. I've captured the process via the Tracing Cockpit and seen the queries where XDS is appending to the sql queries.

Here's where it gets really fun. If I run without CIL, this works great. The Sales Order confirms with no issues. It looks like the XDS security gets disabled as expected and re-enabled at the end. Because of this, I'm very confused. I'm not sure if it's cause maybe the code is jumping tiers or getting out of scope for some reason, but it's pretty annoying.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I did see a comment around using the RunAs to the block of code as a different user, but that would probably be a pile more work in the end. But, if it's a pile of work that'll fix my issue, I'm willing to head that route.
