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.
