I had the new software installed today. For those interested service dept told me it's listed as version 18-03. They did a test drive before returning it to me and confirmed the full functionality is returned.

I only drove it a few miles home so far and can confirm that it will rev-match multiple gear downshifts at various speeds. Have not tried highway speeds but on city streets it seems to match as it did prior to Sept 2017 software update.

I suggest exporting your driver settings before dropping of your car for service since they did not backup and re-install those for me. I had mine on a thumb drive and imported them before leaving the dealership. I won't gripe about that...very minor issue in the grand scheme.
