iPad/Android version bard songs

I think the Android or iOS version of the Bard's Tale: Tales of the Unknown is just an emulated Apple IIGS version. In fact I'm pretty sure.
What I'm not sure about is whether it has fixed bugs, either in the original Apple IIGS version, or in the version now emulated. More specifically, I can see the (P)arty Attack/Bad'r Kilnfest exploit to fully heal up your characters doesn't work like it did on C64. It shouldn't have worked before, so something has been fixed. Maybe.
As we know, despite the game being about the Bard, he was pretty bugged. Wayland's Watch didn't work at all, and Lucklaran only affected the monster in the special slot, not the whole party.
I just can't tell from playing whether these are now fixed, because BT1 can be so damn subtle in its effects: especially Bard song effects. What does everyone else think?
