The relevant commit is 5b9ea76e487c05822a1c8221945c077ff6eac5d1 and was
included
in 3.13BQ.  The QSY button is disabled when rig control is switched to
XML-RPC,
until the controlling program invokes rig.take_control.  This was a
request from Dave, IIRC.  It made sense but I've forgotten why :-)

>From the commit log:

  * rig.take_control
  * rig.release_control

  These methods should be called by rig control programs before accessing
  and after releasing rig hardware, respectively.

The QSY button is disabled again when the last program that called
rig.take_control calls rig.release_control.

So if you use these methods it should work.  Since earlier versions
don't have them, you must be prepared to handle errors, or use
fldigi.version.  BTW that was my commit above and I forgot to mention
the QSY change, sorry about that.
