I got the visa in April 2006 in Kathmandu within 3 working days. Had to hand in a letter of non-objection of my embassy, but that was no problem either.
Yes, I heard about that "get your visa in your home country"-policy, too. But I heard also heard several stories that you actually can talk the embassy staff into giving you a visa anyway. Even if they give you only a week or so - you can easily extend your visa in Pakistan itself, up to 6 month I heard. Only drawback is, as mentioned, once you leave the country on an extended visa, you need to get a new one, multiple entry visa or not.
Cheers
