I could be wrong, but as I understand the documentation, it is actually
required to seek the stream to the end.

"When the transfer medium is a stream, OLE makes assumptions about where
the data is being returned and the position of the stream's seek
pointer. In a GetData call, the data returned is from stream position
zero through just before the current seek pointer of the stream (that
is, the position on exit)."

Also see here for details:

So if that's right, then you don't have a workaround implemented but
fixed the problem on your side :)
