Unlikely. The most recently tagged version of DTC does not have the
patch to the installer fixed.

This can be fixed long term by releasing an updated dtc - can we tag something?

The short-term fix is V1 of this patch, which plays nice with the
broken installs while not breaking modern dtc installed locally.
