Firmware 7.0 Introduces ECP launch command bug

Prior to updating to firmware 7.0, it was possible to use the ECP launch command to open the channel store to the channel page of a specific *private* channel. For example, this command would launch the device to a channel store screen showing the channel's description and star rating, with an option to "Add Channel":

$ curl -d '' 'http://192.168.1.134:8060/launch/11?contentID=54321'

However, it now does nothing after the firmware update. I have observed that this command still works for public channels in 7.0. But no longer for private channels. I see nothing in the documentation that indicates this was an intentional change, so I presume it to be a bug. Can Roku confirm it was unintended and will be fixed?

The current ECP guide still mentions this specific example also:

6. The following command will launch the channel store app (11) on the box with a contentID equal to 14 (the MLB app).
$ curl -d '' 'http://192.168.1.134:8060/launch/11?contentID=14'
