Precisely the same behavior as mine, also still with original sender. 
By coincidence I also purchased my Y2K model in November, and it also is
not in the range of the current recall.

It seems likely that our bikes both have the same senders.  It doesn't
leak, it is consistent in its behavior.  "If it's not broke, don't fix
it" is my motto on this matter.
