I was lied to!!!

Not only is it strictly a battery holder, it's made of cheap plastic that could very easily be cracked or broken. The manufacturer is Merkury, and I've demanaded a full refund to include return shipping!
If the D50 does not have internal contacts within the battery housing for a second shutter release, it is difficult to see now a battery grip could incorporate a 'portrait' button except by means of a cable that plugged into the remote release socket.
