I tried ver. 6.79, 6.88, 6.90, 6.92. 6.93 and 6.94 and none works correctly.
I had 6.72 but couldn't get it to behave so I gave up on it as it wouldn't
work with my radio anyway. (Didn't have 6.74 or 6.78 to test but again they
wouldn't work with my radio)
6.93 works fine if both radios are on CW or both on SSB, it just when doing
mixed mode that things get fouled up.
There is a big delay on SSB when using a DVP and I even tried (just for fun)
disabling the DVP but still things were fouled up.

Subject: Re: [Trlog] IARU and mixed mode operating
The last time I operated the IARU in mixed mode was the final year that the
contest was a part of the WRTC qualification process for Moscow. I ended up
using 6.74 or 6.78 because on my old slow PC, 6.93 took too long to process
the QSO. At any rate, my old tried and true version worked fine. It worked
in the SO2R mode exactly as it normally would in either mode. The radio
operated with all the memory messages, either SSB or CW (using old K1EA
voice recorders in both computers) and it was interesting to operate SO2R
and have everything work just exactly as it should. I would hear my own
voice or the CW depending on the mode of that particular radio. Radios
called stations and gave exchanges as needed. It was cool to be running on
one mode and S and P-ing on another mode and the station simply did exactly
what it was supposed to do.
