Default 5D3 AE Bracketing and in camera HDR issue?

I was shooting some dawn and dusk landscapes last week using the AEB function in camera, typically by going +/- 2 stops from 0 EV. But, when I zeroed out the AEB function and then attempted to shoot an in camera processed HDR image, the HDR function was greyed out (I.e. I couldn't get into it). If I powered the camera off and then back on, I was then able to shoot an HDR image....? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I'm not doing right when going from AEB to HDR?

FYI, going in the reverse was not an issue: AEB ==> HDR was a problem; HDR ==> AEB was not.

Interesting... I haven't tried it. I did notice that the HDR was greyed out when in AEB mode, but didn't notice that it stayed greyed out.

Sounds like a firmware bug.

Page 173 of the manual indicates that HDR can not be used if you use AEB, white balance bracketing, multiple exposures, or bulb mode. Although,I would've thought if you zeroed them out, or changed the settings back, HDR could then be used--apparently not. It seems that you have to reset the camera by turning it off and back on to have access to HDR.
