As there was no reaction from Mavroudis in order to figure out why he is 
not observing the issues the other reporters do and what to do to fix 
those, I already do have revert in my queue for -rc3.

My first guess would be that the extra buttons in the extended report are 
not properly reflected in the emulated report descriptor, but that 
wouldn't explain why it worked for the author of the commit.

So revert it is, and once Marvoudis resurfaces, we can try again for some 
of later releases.
