reported DCS.getMissionName() is now borked

[cfrag]

Up until recently, invoking DCS.getMissionName() would return the name of the mission currently running.

Now it ALWAYS returns the same constant 'tempMission'

Simply run this script in any mission

-- say my mission name
  local mn = net.dostring_in("gui", "return DCS.getMissionName()")
  trigger.action.outText("Hi, my mission name is <" .. mn .. ">", 30)
  
  

it now ALWAYS returns "tempMission", which is wrong

This breaks a lot of functionality, especially for missions that need to know their name (e.g. any mission that wants to use some kind of homegrown persistance).

 

Dear @Flappie, may I enlist your help in directing this to the attention of someone who can help? 

Thank you,

Oh, I've attached a mission to reproduce the issue, as described above

say my name.miz

Some more detail: it seems that this bug affects single player, while at least ad-hoc mp seems to work (not exhaustively tested).
