Application.isFocused is incorrect if another program has focus during launch

Question

Steps to reproduce:

Launch your game (or switch to play mode in the editor)
Switch focus on another program before it starts up
Application.isFocused incorrectly reads "true" from here on out until you focus back to the game at least once, then it is proper when defocusing & focusing after that

Can anyone else reproduce this? Is there a workaround?

That feeling when you search for an answer to a year-and-a-half-old bug and only find your own post. :(
