Climate defaults to "manual" on turn-on action

My Zigbee climate devices (Tuya TV02) behave different since a few days :
When sending climate turn-on command it switches to preset-mode=manual.
Previous behaviour was: switch to preset-mode=auto

Since I am using climate command, not plain MQTT message, I can’t say if that might be caused by a modification of HA climate or Zigbee2MQTT (all continuously updated to latest version).

Is somebody aware of the root cause?

Seems caused by modification of Zigbee2MQTT adapter for my climate device (Tuya TV02).
Sending MQTT message system_mode = heat (even if heat already was set) automatically sets preset_mode = manual.

I am not sure if this is to be considered as bug or feature. Anyway need to do a workaround, i.e. either check earlier system_mode or send subsequent preset_mode command
