Actually, the behavior does seem to be repeatable and the error condition relapses. Every time I upload a revised image to the radio, it resets that bit (whatever it is) and I get the "No Bnk" error. Once I create a bank entry manually on the radio (just a dummy entry in a bank I don't use works best), I'm able to access the uploaded banks and groups.
I notice that accessing the banks (once enabled) is a little different on my radio than is shown in the user guide as well. I have to press F/W, then Band, choose the bank, then press Band again. It was a bit confusing for a while, but my ol' brain finally got the sequence down.
Since this issue does repeat with every refresh/revision that I do, next time I make a change I'll upload the current (functional) state, then download to the radio, confirm that the banks aren't working properly, and upload that image - then send both of them to the website.

Unfortunately, I didn't download an image from the radio and set it, as
you suggested. I may have saved an earlier version though (pre-bank) so it could be compared pre- and post- bank setting. Perhaps that might show something useful. I'll dig around and see what I have.
The is why the bug has persisted so long. The dev who worked on it also did not have a pristine copy of the radio memory from before the bank feature was used, so it was not obvious that there was an extra setting that needed enabling. (By the way, a factory reset will not restore this. For some reason Yaesu does not actually zero everything out on a reset.) Once you've activated banks for the first time on the radio, adding and removing channels via Chirp works just fine--this is what the original developer tested when adding the VX3 to Chirp.
