iThemes Security, hide backend, and Custom Login plugin causes blank page

Okay, like many in this forum I lost the ability to log into my WordPress admin after updating the iThemes Security plugin. After several days of frustration and testing I finally discovered the cause: The hide backend feature is now incompatible with the Custom Login plugin for some reason. If I deactivate either plugin or disable the hide backend feature in iTheme Security I am able to regain access to my site. If I activate both plugins and hide the backend all I see is a blank page instead of the login form. The backend is truly hidden, heh-heh! Anyway, according to the author of the Custom Login plugin in his forum it is an issue with the iThemes Security plugin and not his plugin. Is there a work around for this problem or should it be reported as a bug? Thanks.
