Yes, this is the exact issue (and workaround) I have with my bank driver
for the VX5, which is why I haven't submitted it yet.

My guess is that there is a bit somewhere that says the memory group
feature is enabled, but I can't find the bit. As far as I can tell, only
the new bank entry is added to the image after doing this workaround.
