Greenland Airbases not ceded to USA?

In GS 2.00, is it a known issue that the Greenland airbases may NOT get ceded to the USA in '41 (as it says in the manual they will). Or are there valid reasons why they might not be?
In May '42 The Greenland airfields are showing up as owned by Denmark, even though Denmark was invaded by Germany in '40.
This makes it hard to get bombers to the UK, as you an imagine

The Greenland airbases are supposed to be taken over by USA in April 1941. You can try that by starting a 1941 scenario and play hotseat a few turns until you reach the end of the April 1941 turn for the Allies. Then you should see a message telling that USA takes over the Greenland airbases.

That's what I thought. So there's no situation in which they should not be ceded?
And therefore what I am seeing (in 1942) is definitely a bug?

I'm not sure because this is happening normally in our games. We're playing GS v2.01.35 at the moment so I can't tell about GS v2.00 games. Can you try a hotseat with the 1941 scenario to check if the change happens in April 1941?
According to the code it should happen as long as USA is not conquered.

I've tried it hotseat and in April '41 - as you promised - it changes to "<b>owner: USA, Nationailty: (Danish)</b>".
However in the game we're playing (that started in '39), it is still "<b>owner: Out of Play, Nationailty: (Danish)</b>".
I guess it's not the end of the world. I'm certainly not going to stop playing this campaign because of it. But it is annoying.

I assume there's no "console command" or whatever, no way of ceding these bases to the Americans if the scripting has (evidently) failed?
