Dealer has been unable to reproduce the fault under test but has ordered a replacement instrument cluster. All the comfort functions run through the cluster and the two proven reproducible faults after it came back open were:
1. The lid would only operate through the tailgate button not the fob and
2. that the LED display at the instrument base was completely blank after the tailgate stuck.
After the car had been switched off long enough to fully power down everything appeared to return to normal. If we had not been nearby when it happened the last time, it would have powered down, reset then appeared perfectly normal.

Just luck that it happened when we could "catch" the fault, near to the dealer, and could demonstrate it.
And to have a dealer that would properly check it out and take action.
