Ambience color codes changes in update 1.1.1.27

Maybe it's better to share my comment as a question: https://together.jolla.com/question/71741/release-notes-software-version-11127-vaarainjarvi/?comment=79374#comment-79374

I've noticed that my Storm ambience changed text colors after the update. In fact, it looks like Jolla has changed .ambience files format in /usr/share/ambience. Before the update, primaryColor and secondaryColor color codes where all coded on 4 bytes and after the update, primaryColor was coded on 3 bytes while secondaryColor was still on 4 bytes. This will cause an incompatibility if you had a backup of older ambience from /usr/share/ambience and want to restore it on the new update (old format ambience will not appear in Gallery app). To modify the main text colors of the Storm ambience from orange to white, I had to change primaryColor from #FFEBD1 to #FFFFFF and secondaryColor from #FFFFEBD1 to #FFFFFFFF and then reboot.

Maybe Jolla has informations about this change and could say if the text color change on Storm ambience (and maybe others) is a bug or a real update they wanted. Here is what the main text color looked on original Storm ambience:
