decode-config v9.2.0.3 is outdated, does this also happen using current v12.5.0 with the same device?

[leres]

I'm using tasmota 9.2.0.3 because the bloat in newer versions of tasmota makes the image too large to do OTA updates without first upgrading to a minimal load (an extra step I wanted to avoid). I'll try to upgrade a module for testing but this failure is so rare (I'll see a couple within a few days every 2-6 months) I'm not optimistic I can reproduce it quickly.

I looked at the commit logs and don't see any that look related to the problem and also did a diff between 9.2.0.3 and development and the exception I see in get_fieldvalue() is no longer being caught so the debugging print is no longer there.

I'm talking about decode-config version, not Tasmota version.

You wrote your -v output is
decode-config v9.2.0.3 [aeca3c0] by Norbert Richter <[email protected]>
that tells me you are using decode-config v9.2.0.3.

As written in README at the beginning ("decode-config is compatible with all Tasmota versions, starting from Tasmota v5.10.0 up to the current one."):
You can use always the current decode-config (master or development) with all current and past Tasmota firmware versions. It is not necessary to use an outdated decode-config version with an older tasmota FW.

Please test the current deocde-config version v12.5.0 in conjunction with your device with the old firmware v9.2.0.3
