Unknown POI listed as MAP_PIN_TYPE_POI_SEEN

I'm currently updating the Destinations addon for Murkmire, and unknown points of interest were broken by this update. The addon used to check for them like this:
Lua Code:
  1. local zoneIndex = GetCurrentMapZoneIndex()
  2.  
  3. for poiIndex = 1, GetNumPOIs(zoneIndex) do
  4.     local normalizedX, normalizedY, poiType = GetPOIMapInfo(zoneIndex, poiIndex)
  5.     local unknown = poiType == MAP_PIN_TYPE_INVALID
  6.     if unkown do ......... end
  7. end

Since 4.2.0 this no longer works, as poiType is now always MAP_PIN_TYPE_POI_SEEN, even if they are not shown to the player. Why was this changed? Does anyone know of a good new way to check for unknown POIs?
