I'm guessing that machine had its chip replaced with a debugged chip.
I would think they would just add a fix where the bill validator went dark when unavailable just like on all the other ones. No?
This is correct and it's what the IGT memo I saw at the Silverton at the time said. It explained that all worldwide customers were to shut down the double up option on generation XX to XXXX machines, and that they would be shipping out eproms with the correct programming to all customers which they would have to replace & install on their own.

This tells me that since the bill validator on non-infected machines goes dark as soon as DEAL is pushed and does not light up again until the hand is over, it only makes sense that the fix would include that exact same procedure.

I do not know if pre double up bug machines or post bug machines include something different.
