But pre-EV56 Alpha has always been like this. What makes it broken
all of a sudden?

My question was whether it actually stopped working, i.e. it's no
longer usable on these machines but that's not the case as far as
I know as not too long ago someone was actually running Debian on
a Jensen machine [1].

We could actually ask Ulrich Teichert what the current state is
on his Jensen machine.
