I just ran into this while playing with the LX2160 I received this week.

I wonder if it would be better to detect the failure case dynamically,
rather than having these hardcoded quirks. It should be rather
straightforward to detect overlaps at the edges of these multi-range
mappings, in which case we could just let the spurious one (living at
the end of the region) be superseded by the correct one (living at the
start of the next region).
