According to Wikipedia, iOS 6.1 was released (in beta, it appears) on 12 November. Let's hope that this release fixes whatever Apple needs to fix to make Office work properly with iPhones.
The list of changes for iOS 6.1 does not mention any MAP changes, but then nor did the update for iOS 6.0.1, yet the behaviour of my phone with Office changed for the better after that update.
