Yes -- the mode selection bug is fixed, but the vintage TV modes are not (quite yet) released so you have to do a bit of an update dance...
The usual caveats apply about backing up any important files on the Raspberry Pi!

Code:

sudo apt updatesudo apt full-upgradesudo rpi-update
Now the "vintage" modes won't be offered, unless tv_mode is "Mono" (because they don't work on most TVs).
In "/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt" you should append just one of these words (separated by a space from the rest of the line).

Code:

 video=Composite-1:tv_mode=Mono video=Composite-1:544x380i,tv_mode=Mono video=Composite-1:848x738i,tv_mode=Mono
depending what mode you want to be the default for the boot console (the top one should give 625 lines with a safe crop: 704x512i). You might then have to set it again for the GUI, which should work again.
