Subject: Avoid 1.h7 (nice position for "Swiss-Test?")

From the game Kramnik-Krasenkov (Wijk aan Zee 2003)
The obvious 1.h7 leads to a draw (perpetual check with rook)
Kramnik played Ne3 btw, and won.
Engines that see the draw after h7 rather fast are Goliath Light 1.5
and Anaconda 1.0
Most engines have difficulties seeing the "crazy rook" concept.
How does your engine(s) handle this?
