Incorrect Puzzle 37055 (Could we start an edit puzzle thread?)

The puzzle 37055 dinged me for incorrect after 2. Rb8+ Kh7 instead of Kg7. They are equivalent moves, both taking advantage of the rook being unable to swing over to prevent the h pawn from promoting. Normally I do a couple of easy problems to warm up, but this surprised me with a big -27 (ouch) in spite of seeing everything correctly. So I headed over to the analysis board and was given

(-4.7) for Kg7
(-4.8) for Kh7 (which I was marked wrong for!)

I know this site has "good move try again" for equivalent but still winning moves, that in the least would be nice to be added here, though I thought that there were problems that allowed multiple winning moves.

Is a link to the puzzle. Is it possible to edit the puzzle so this doesn't happen to someone else too?
I just noticed for a second it showed 0.0 for move Kh7, but only for a second. Many problems on this site were created long ago with superficial analysis. So yeah, both moves are equivalent in the end.
My engine says that each: Kg7 and Kh7 gives forced mate in 27 :P There are some wrong puzzles, we should have option to mark them, so moderators can review it. Unfortunately, as we can see nearly daily, there are users that fail a good puzzle and are creating new topic on forum without even checking an analysis. It is more that likely that moderators will have plenty of unverified reports...
For now, I suggest to make a topic where all controversial puzzles will be placed. Maybe some moderator will check it out :D
