Jeff, an important point on this is that I believe a minority group gets to decide what is offensive or hurtful to them. The majority group doesn't get to tell the minority group to shut up and stop complaining about petty things. So if this was deemed very important by a group of LDS then I would be inclined to agree and to give them what they want. That would probably override my comment earlier that by apologizing formally you could bring more attention to the issue and make things worse.
