I think this is a partial regression. INDI reports solar tracking rate all the time now after a slew.

The documentation here (https://02d3287.netsolhost.com/pmc-eight/PMC_Eight_ProgrammersReferenceManual_Release2_2019_February_01.pdf). Gives tracking rates in "solar arc seconds / sec" and "sidereal arc seconds/sec" . The mount appears to be reporting the latter (15.000) in response to the "get precision tracking rate" command (ESGx!) following a slew.
