Counterspelling not working on infinicasting

Description
==========

A character will not even attempt to counterspell a foe if the spell being cast is an "infiniversion" - in this case Magic Missile.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

Get another mage with GSF Evocation, put him/her on dislike, enter counterspell mode, and ask the other person to drop magic missiles on you. The counterspelling mage will do nothing, despite having the correct spells memorized (MM, and even a Mord's D.). If the other mage casts flame arrow or a bigby spell regularly, counterspelling works just fine.

There's a possibility that this is intended... but I think it shouldn't be. Can't see any reason that offensive infinispells should be impossible to counterspell because they're in a different category than regular spells.

Expected result
-----------------------
MM should be countered

Actual result
-------------------

See above.

This is an engine limitation of spells granted as innate abilities. Unfortunately there's not much that can be done except for an entire overhaul of the system, which isn't really a viable option.
