The “stuck analog stick” bug – but for D-pad?

Whenever I start Kodi it is unwilling to respond to the D-pad of my controller (Logitech F710) moving down or to the right. It will accept either direction once it’s opposite has been pressed (up for down, left for right). Once up and left have been pressed once, the controller works as normal and responds to all input.

My controller has been setup on a clean, fresh Krypton profile using the controller configurator tool new to version 17. Seeing as it is a button-for-button standin for the Xbox 360 controller, each button has been mapped to the similarly-positioned-and-named Xbox button.

My assumption is that the problems is related to the stuck analog stick issue but the wiki only mentions analog sticks and not D-pads. Does anyone know is D-pads are encompassed by the bug (and the fix)?
