You are right, there is no tactical win at all after 27... c5 (which is
a good move BTW).

Again NO tactical example which would prove the superiority of the Hsu
chip. So far I have seen none. Am I mistaken?

The remaining question and that is for Bob to answer, if 27... c5 gives
a +2 score then all the remaining DT-II moves after 27...c5 would have
been +2 at least. If not I agree this must have been a bug.
