The explanation for the problem is to do with the dual mode EQ & AZ switching on the AZ-EQ6 GT mount I use with newer firmware versions:

"The engineers found that because the AZ/EQ6 and AZ/EQ5 mounts can be either AZ or EQ, it was confusing the StarSense firmware with the latest update when it asks the mount what configuration it is. All Celestron mounts only report a single type, and the user has to change the EQ wedge setting in the firmware manually for, say, an Evolution mount on a wedge, so the firmware does not have this issue with either Celestron mounts or purely EQ SW mounts."

The supplied firmware changes the code to bypass this issue and let the firmware continue even when the mount asks what mode you are using it on.
