I realise they are quite old having looked around a lot in the last few days 
but 2.9p8 is the latest we have in current raspbian/debian stable release :\

As mentioned 3.1p1-2 is available as armhf build and installs/runs on my Pi2 
but gives the same result as 2.9p8 ie. missing character etc,

I assume the debian 3.1p1-2 should be close enough to the current/latest 
release to prove something is wrong somewhere, otherwise I could make an 
amateur attempt at building from source - but that may mean manually replacing 
binaries in their debianised positions.

I am rather surprised there have been no other reports on the list up to now 
if something is broken. This LCD is quite often used in EU I believe - from 
posts in the fhem forum it works as expected with USB/serial host adapters.

I suppose there could be an issue with the Pi host adapter but it works with 
everything else and using 2.8p15 the LCD is fine. (I even tried reducing i2c 
baudrate in case there was an issue there but no improvement)
