Joystick POW hat resets in 1.30.3

[Tigger6]

Since 1.30.3 my POW hat is all weird. What seems to be happening is that it keeps resetting to front view whenever I move the stick. This results in very nasty stroboscope effect.

Additionally I got my view stuck in the forward-up position and after I got it unstuck somehow, I couldn't select it anymore.

Now- this is not a problem with my joystick. I loaded up control panel many times through this to confirm that the j/s was acting as it was supposed to.

I never experienced anything similar to it in previous versions, didn't change anything in my configuration at all. Didn't even boot windows up between my last time flying in 1.30.2 and now.

The joystick is a X52Pro.

Moved JS hat to X52 Hat 1, the one that returns one button instead of two on diagonals. Works alright now. Previously had num pad keys simulated by the other hat and that was what didn't work. The problem with being able to look directly up (modifier + POW hat N) working only for one sequence of presses is still there. This might be related.
