[chirp_users] PX-2R downloaded data is corrupted

I downloaded v0.1.12 yesterday (this is the first time I've tried to use
CHIRP) to try to back up and edit the memories in my Puxing PX-2R after
some frustration with the Puxing software (it crashed after I had hand
entered a number of entries).
CHIRP connects to the unit and downloads the data, but everything is
wrong. It looks like some sort of 'off by one' error, as the channel
name has the first letter chopped and the frequencies are wrong, the
tones are wrong, etc.
For example, in channel 1 I have the settings for a local UHF repeater:
* Freq: 442.950MHz
* Receive Tone: None
* Transmit Tone: 110.9
* Offset: +5MHz
* Name: N5SVZ
* Width: narrow
* Power: high
* Step: 12.5Khz
Here's what is in the chirp file that I saved from the radio:
<memory location="1">
<shortName>5SVZ0</shortName>
<longName>5SVZ0</longName>
<frequency units="MHz">442.908000</frequency>
<squelch id="rtone" type="repeater">
<tone>88.5</tone>
</squelch>
<squelch id="ctone" type="ctcss">
<tone>88.5</tone>
</squelch>
<squelch id="dtcs" type="dtcs">
<code>503</code>
<polarity>NR</polarity>
</squelch>
<squelchSetting>dtcs</squelchSetting>
<duplex>none</duplex>
<offset units="MHz">447.908100</offset>
<mode>NFM</mode>
<tuningStep units="kHz">5.00000</tuningStep>
</memory>
I have not used previous versions, so I can't say whether this is an
issue with the new build or with my radio. I have had this PX-2R for
nearly a year, so I suppose I could have a different variant of the
radio (Puxing lists a 'PX-2R plus' that can receive VHF; mine can only
work on UHF).
Thanks,
