It's worth just cleaning up the sensors and optical target, and
seeing if it works any better.

Yes, conceivably the flexible PCB might go open circuit with a lot of flexing.
Finding a replacement is probably not easy though...

The Munki spectral sensitivity curves derive their reference indirectly
to a CS2000, but that "indirect" could conceivably add a delta E.
Whereas creating a .ccmx ties the i1d3 directly to the Munki, so
one would expect better agreement.
