Did not get your first problem in a message but if you hold down the left three buttons and turn on then do the same thing again you will get a good reset. Robby N6MNL

So, did I run into both a CHIRP bug and a Yaesu firmware bug, or is this known behavior?

Sounds like an honest-to-goodness bug to me.

Can you send me the original CHIRP image, and then an image captured after "fixing" it with commander? There's probably just some stray bit that isn't getting cleared. I should be able to find it from the diff of the two images.

I'll go on to say, once again, that Yaesu radios are really bad about this. They let you program basically anything into the memory you want, regardless of whether it will crash the radio's microcontroller or not. It's really rather unfortunate that they didn't design the radio a little better than that...
