I am adding here two citations from a parallel thread in order to have it all together.

Apparently it does not happen, which means they have not been properly notified, or they have a very low priority on fixing bugs like this in their firmware.

Anyway, Godox is the only manufacurer of a very reasonably priced, quite extended, Fujifilm-compatible flash system with radio control options in most devices."

As appears to me, with this, my questions seems answered. I do have the latest firmware on all my devices. We can still hope for Godox to fix it. Many thanks to you bemeta! Before tagging this as the answer, I'm going to wait a bit for possible other voices.
