[ic] express checkout problems (bug?)

It seems that the express checkout option is a bit buggy.  I am using
some custom shipping methods that are based on country and state tables
and some of the methods do live UPS lookups...  However, I have a
"default" method as follows:

default:	Not Enough Information.
	criteria	weight
	min		0
	max		9999999
	cost	e Please fill out your address information and click recalculate
in order to see your shipping options.

When customers click on the express checkout page before they fill out
their shipping address info, the shipping is set to the above default
method.  

So now the shipping method field says "Not Enough Information" and the
cost is $0. and there is the note says "Please fill out your address
information and click recalculate in order to see your shipping
options."  

Now, if the customer fills out all the info on the page and submits the
order (without clicking recalculate), and the order goes through with no
shipping cost!

If the customer fills out all the address info, then clicks recalculate,
the price is still $0. they need to hit recalculate again in order for
the price to be set.

If the cost is set to "e" I would think that this should cause an error
and make the customer "select" a shipping method to allow checkout, but
instead the order goes through with free shipping...

Does anybody else have this issue?

Also, is there a better "catchall" then "weight 0 - 999999"?
