Its not something that was done intentionally, and we have tests in
place to ensure it doesn't happen again.
But given that to-date about 4 people have noticed it didn't work (and
my employer has no interest in older versions especially when they're
running heartbeat), I have no current inclination to spend time on the
problem myself.

That doesn't prevent the vocal minority that maintain its a huge issue
affecting half the globe from fixing the problem instead of being a
pests.  If you spent have as much time looking into the problem as
moaning about it, it would probably be done by now.
