PS5 Controller Mute Button - Light Gun Mode?

I have a PS5 controller, which has an extra Mute button. In Main, I have defined the Mute button as the menu button.
It works fine in every other core I've tried. However, in the PSX core, sometimes the menu isn't activated when I press it, and instead I get a line that says "Light gun mode is ON" (or OFF). Other times it seems to work fine.
This has ruined some saves already for not being able to bring up the menu in time. Is this by design or is it a bug?

I also use the button as "start" and it works fine.
Make sure to map the buttons both on menu core as well as the psx core.

Yes, I did that. In fact, at first I thought that I could get rid of the light gun toggle by going to main and remapping the controller, and that it got broken when I went to the core and remapped it there. Later I realized that it's random, and it probably was a coincidence. It doesn't change behaviour if I mash the button; only when I try to open the menu after a while.

Have you updated the firmware on the controller?

I recently used a DS5 to play through Final Fantasy 9 on the PSX core. I used the little bottom-center button for the menu, which I think is probably the Mute button, and I never once saw a problem. It worked perfectly every time.
I did run the firmware updater ahead of time; I'm presently on version 0307, and the tool says that's the current release.

No, I don't meet the requisites to run the updater. But that line comes from the core anyway. I wonder what makes it trigger. Light gun on/off isn't even an available binding.

I think you have your answer then. Those of us using updated controllers aren't seeing this behavior.
