After a long series of trial and error, I've hopefully figured it out:
even if some additional actions are taken to tell VS that extensions
have changed, it doesn't automatically updates its caches.
It seems to be similar to
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/66084/mef-cache-do-not-updates-when-assembly-version-cha.html
which has been fixed for VS2017.

A new installer with a workaround is available here:
