This is happening because of the sort priority that we have on our company lookup. We can take a look at updating our sort priorities so that current symbols match before historical symbols, which is the case that is happening here.

While this is still an issue (sorry), I don't think we'll be making enhancements to the current set of APIs. Another team is looking at making some generic APIs that would have full support sometime in the future though no dates are set.
