I don't know enough about the whole process to come up with a patch,
but it looks like there are two issues with Postfix.pm

in sub new,

  $this->{HDFileRegexp} = '^([\\dA-F]+)$';

doesn't allow for the leading 'P'.

in sub HDFileName

    $id =~ s/\.[^.]+$//;

needs I think to be something like

    $id =~ s/P([^.]+)\.[^.]+$/\1/;

Either that, or just add the 'P' to the beginning of the entropy
fragment (after the '.') instead of to the beginning of the id.

I think I'll try this latter change:

        my $id = 'P' . $idtemp . '.' . PostfixKey($file);

becomes instead

        my $id = $idtemp . '.' . 'P' . PostfixKey($file);
