Adam, some have been finding that the Fine Tuning option for Auto White Balance (AWB) has done the trick, with a setting of about one or two toward the red and maybe a one toward the green (if you like a slightly yellow look). This will likely also affect the AWB with tungsten lighting, but perhaps this in conjunction with the stronger Tungsten compensation as selected in the Custom menus?
