Magento: Names of the associated products of a configurable product are not visible in admin

The Simple Configurable Products module. In the file app/code/community/OrganicInternet/SimpleConfigurableProducts/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Edit/Tab/Super/Config/Grid.php the developers of Organic Internet left a nice little hint;
#Copied from Magento v1.3.1 code.
#Only need to comment out addFilterByRequiredOptions but there's no
#nice way of doing that without cutting and pasting the method into my own
#derived class. Boo.
#This change stops the filtering-out of any configurable product's 'associated products' that have compulsory custom options
#Have also replaced parent::_prepareCollection with Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid::_prepareCollection();

I figured the code that was used in 1.3.1 was outdated so this file would be outdated if you're using >1.3.1. So I just looked at the contents of the core file app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Edit/Tab/Super/Config/Grid.php and looked for differences, and found the culprit.
All you have to do is add this line;
->joinAttribute('name', 'catalog_product/name', 'entity_id', null, 'inner')
between these two lines;
->addFieldToFilter('attribute_set_id',$product->getAttributeSetId())
        ->addFieldToFilter('type_id', $allowProductTypes);
And you're all set!
