Broken run arrow with new gyro

One thing I've noticed. We use the new gyro provided as part of the First Choice program. We copied the example VIs into our LabView code and it works just fine. If we start up our coding session by selecting the LabView project file everything loads up just fine and we get a clean run arrow. However if we take a shortcut and load one of the project's VIs (such as robot main) we get a broken run arrow. Now we see that the gyro open VI in Begin is expecting the gyro to be an analog device even though the code specifies the correct SPI port. Also the Calibrated output from the get angle VI no longer exists. It does this consistently.
It's not a show stopper but it is annoying. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
