I have in past experimented with updating/replacing notebooks, and before overwriting I had to change the modify date of the nbk file by +12h or so before overwriting the target nbk, or the change would be ignored and the previous version synced back down from cloud. This is no longer necessary, I can just copy to computer and back to the target folder, and it 'takes'.
I am surprised that replacing a notebook works at all. I wonder whether it was the time setting change or something else in the new firmware that causes the new behavior.

I am probably misremembering this. Probably we've even discussed this previously.
We discussed this back in May of last year. At that time you reported the same failure but with a different letter appearing. My response is here.

It may be feasible in principle but would require further research into what is going wrong and likely an ability to modify notebooks using outside software to correct the problem. That isn't something I intend to invest my time doing.
