Bug Gel Noob: KOL Mafia not recognising level-up during a session

An issue I've had just over the last couple of weeks in GelNoob:

I am noting some weird behaviour in the Gelatinous Noob path. Specifically, it doesn't appear to notice or recognise that the player has levelled up.

And by "it" I am not sure whether this is an Autoscend or a Mafia problem, and I don't even know how to find out.

[EDIT] I am told that this is more likely a KOLMafia than Autoscend issue, although if so, it's a KOLMafia issue that has knock-on effects in autoscend when running the path.

Specifically: On the left side of KOLMafia, it shows the correct values for muscle, mysticality and moxie. But it doesn't appear to understand, during the session, that the increased Moxie value translates to actually going up a Level. It was showing me with 84 Moxie, the mainstat of a GelNoob (and about 50 in each of the other stats), but only saying Level 1 - albeit with a maxed progress bar.

Logging out to desktop, and logging back in, correctly made it show the Level as 9 (the correct value for Level as determined by the Moxie mainstat). But then when Moxie went up to 85, the Level did not apparently increase to 10. I had to log out and back in, again.

This matters with a GelNoob, because going up a Level entitles you to absorb one more thing (up to a max of 15 at level 13): and not going up a level made autoscend apparently believe that the consumption limit was full, when it wasn't. It also meant that autoscend did not visit the Council and pick up the Council Quests.

The relay browser, itself, showed the correct value for the level at all times. Visiting the Council in the relay browser will pick up any new level-appropriate quests, but not cause KOLMafia itself to recognise the higher level, until logging out and logging back in with a new session.

There was the following reply from Ryo_Sangnoir:

after zoot, we made a change to get the level from api.php instead of from the stat points (or to read it from the charpane, I believe). It's possible that the charpane doesn't contain the regex we're looking for.

(Which, in turn, suggests that this may be a bug of recent origin, and explain why it did not happen until after the Zootomist path. Also, in ckb's own recent thread about a separate GelNoob issue, this issue wasn't noticed, but then, this suggests that ckb was running the path manually and possibly in the relay browser.)
 
FWIW, I just finished a bunch of Noob runs and never noticed this issue.
But maybe I am doing different things during my run than Autoscend. I was running via my own scripts, with an occasional manual Relay turn.
