Puck.js FW 2v16 not recognizing HW V1 magnetometer MAG3110, thinks it's Puck Lite 1 HW

I updated a Kickstarter Puck.js w/ most recent FW 2v16 using online Web IDE. Running the default code

Puck.magOn();
Puck.on('mag', function(xyz) {
  console.log(xyz);
});
// Turn events off with Puck.magOff();

complained in the console:

Uncaught Error: Magnetometer not available on Puck.js Lite 1

Puck.magOn();

(Definitively not a battery level issue...)

After installing from url 2v00 - the oldest listed on the site for previous versions http://www.espruino.com/Download - above code works.

2 questions:

1. What is the newest verson that still recognizes the MAG3110 on my Kickstarter Puck.js V1? (*
2. What can I do to make 2v16 recognize the MAG3110 on my Kickstarter Puck.js V1?

*) Looks like 2V14 is last one that works... (worked thru 2v06, was on before update, then 2v11, then 2v14: all ok; 2v15 shows same issue as 2v16).

Oops...

...found duplicate at Puck.js v1 on 2V16 - magnetometer not recognised...

Search is really not working in forum, and googling was not of much more helpful...

(using 1v14 until 2v17 will be out)

Yes, sorry for the problem.

Since I'm on holiday after today I'd rather not do another firmware release until the new year in case it were to introduce new issues.
