That isn't a bug, I specifically put the CONIO define there in the event
anyone wanted to do what you were doing. The reason it isn't in the final
build is that it's noticeably (and annoyingly) slower than the 1.65 build.
Even on a monochrome monitor.

There are many, many ramifications to making that change.
