And then he goes and plays RG doubles. . . Oh well, I suppose he may ask for a wild card then.

Surely you mean 4 wc's? There are two Special Exempts to be cleared I know but they must go to the two highest ranked players signed in for qualifying according to ATP rules. Is this a record for the latest announcement ever to be made? play starts in 14 hours.
The tournament told me that there were 6 qualifying wildcards
I'm very surprised at how late the draw has been made, it's normally made the afternoon before but when I phoned they said it wouldn't be made until 9.30pm

And so there are, according to the draw: Jamie Murray, Andrew Kennaugh (drawn against each other!), Naim Lalji, Edward Corrie, Chris Eaton and David Corrie.
