PSA: Prusa Connect control may move without homing and collide with docked tools

It seems that clicking on the print bed to move the toolchanger in the Prusa Connect/Control UI may not ensure that the printer has homed since power on. For me, the sequence of events was as follows:

• Newly-assembled semi-assembled 5-tool.
• Printer previously updated to 5.1.0 fw.
• The printer has gone through all first run tests and calibrations, but nothing has been printed yet.
• Turn on the printer.
• Use LCD Control menu to pick up tool 1.
• Use LCD Control menu to "Park current tool".
• Turn off printer.
• Turn on printer.
• Set up WiFi using ini file created by prusaslicer.
• Set up Prusa Connect.
• Using Control tab in prusa connect, click roughly the centre of the print bed to move the print head there.
• The printer has not homed since power on, and does not home as a consequence of the previous step. The toolchanger head is currently just in front of tool 1 which was previously parked.
• The toolchanger moves further towards the back of the printer and stars grinding with force from left to right across the main locking forks sticking out of tools 1 and 2.

I have reported this to support.
