As said, I reported to Contact Tokyo Headquarters.
This is the text I used:

Settings:
- AF switch set to AF-C.
- Set Up, Button/Dial settings:
Shutter AF, both AF-S and AF-C set to On.
Shutter AE, AF-S/MF set to On, AF-C set to Off.
Now as Shutter AE lock for AF-C is set to Off, the exposure is still locked while having the shutter pressed halfway.
Pointing to a dark scene, press the shutter halfway, then pointing to a bright area while keeping the shutter pressed halfway, exposure values don't change (they should adjust to the brighter scene).

When also Shutter AF, AF-C is set to Off, both shutter speed and exposure are not locked. So Shutter AF Off works for both shutter speed and exposure now.

This bug was introduced in firmware version 1.20.

I also included a link to this topic.

And this is their reply:

when you change the position while pressing the shutter button half way down, the camera needs some time to adjust to the different brightness level. Please wait some seconds to give the camera the chance toadjust. Currently there is no plan to change this behavior via Firmware.

Could hardly believe what I read. Wait some seconds? That would make the camera unusable slow.

Are only X-Photographers taken serious? It looks like the person didn't even read carefully.

That was one seriously frustrating answer

out of curiosity… did anyone get it to work by waiting some seconds?
