I'm sure Georgi will be pleased to explain that it was obviously my fault we did not find the heart fit. Meanwhile, my first thought after 4♠ was to bid 4NT - but the hover-over convinced me otherwise, as it was explained as "Blackwood (S)"?!?

Not really sure but used to play this back from aces scientific and 5 card majors western style (Max Hardy) that this would show 1444 or 04(54) hand congratulations to GIB if it plays this, it would be nice id it lets the rest of us in or at least in the explanation it says at least 1444 slam try...thats the key slam try! Would it bid the same way if we opened 1NT and it were 1444 or 04(54) withnslam aspirations? has this one showed up before?

1NT 2♠
2NT 3♥ or 3 ♠

If GIB plays minor suit stayman this would be the same

4NT taken as blackwood is incorrect. The auction will be investigated for fix.

Are you implying that you consider it correct to bid MSS on a 0445 shape?
