CEC doesn't work on RPI when TV has been rebooted, due to outdated libcec

I'm using a RPI 1 but it seems several RPI models have this problem. I'm have tried 8.90.007 and 8.2.5. I'm fairly hopeful that this problem has been fixed in latest libcec 4.0.3. Since the change log states:

Quote

* send an active source message when a routing change has been received with

libCEC's address as new route and no active source message has been sent

yet. issue #309 #205 #233

Issue 309 is Kodi Wake up from tv doesn't work

The libcec used in 8.90.007 is 4.0.2 and 4.0.1 for 8.2.5. If this updated libcec 4.0.3 could be included in the next iteration of your amazing creation, it would be much appreciated. The wife is less then pleased with me each time I have to manually activate CEC for her, so you would really be helping me out. Thank you.

It seems they fixed the problem in osmc when libcec was updated.

The next LibreELEC release will contain libcec 4.0.3, the update is already in our master branch

libcec: update to libcec-libcec-4.0.3 · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@827c6f8 · GitHub

I've now tested with 8.90.008 ALPHA, with the 4.0.3. It still doesn't work. I can't figure it out. This is the output from CEC-client during the disconnect:

It's very strange. You can use kodi's CECActivateSource in order to bring back CEC at any time.
