I experienced the "flashback" bug as well!
I had a board running v72 bigram from the 23rd. Went into tools, flasher, flashed it, nothing advanced. And I was getting odd behavior.... And then I tried to convert something to a uint8array and that didn't work, and then I reconnected and realized I was on v71 again. But then I saw the little notice in the upper right corner saying there was an update, and went through flasher again, and it flashed.
But at the time, I scratched my head, and wondered if I'd done something dumb (it's been known to happen), and ignored it once I got the right firmware flashed. The fact that you saw the exact same thing points to a larger issue.
I'll bet it has something to do with the fact that we were already running a board with v72, and that made the IDE not think we needed to update... and hence not download the new firmware?
