No, they just sent out a replacement unit.
The obvious primary symptom was that the depth was totally off. However, the error wasn't a fixed offset, nor was it linear. It was off by about 80-120ft on the outbound leg, 30-110 on the inbound leg. The big ~70ft spike @ ~75 minutes was really only about a 15ft depth change (we swam over the top of a section of reef).
Hard to say what failed. My initial suspicion was that it was something in pressure sensing or processing circuitry. However, after downloading the data, I also noticed that the year was was also whacked. It could be a totally orthogonal issue ... who the heck knows.

It didn't have the new daylight savings time patch and got hit with the y2k*2 bug.
