LGTV-Binding: envelope=null

After a bug has been fixed in the LGTV binding, I don’t get an exception anymore when connecting to my TV.
I tried to insert some buttons to start LG apps from openhab, but the only result I get is the following log entry:

[ERROR] [binding.lgtv.internal.LgtvConnection] - envelope=null maybe not connected

Here’s the item definition:

String LGTVWZ_AppStart          "Start"                          {lgtv="*:LGTVWZ:APP_EXECUTE"}
String LGTVWZ_AppStopp          "Stopp"                          {lgtv="*:LGTVWZ:APP_TERMINATE"}

And here’s the sitemap:

        Switch item=LGTVWZ_AppStart mappings=[YouTube=YouTube, LOVEFiLM=Prime]
        Switch item=LGTVWZ_AppStopp mappings=[YouTube=YouTube, LOVEFiLM=Prime]

And idea what I could change to make this working?
Here’s the relevant logfile part:

P.S.: The pairing was successful:

2017-12-26 13:44:34.357 [INFO ] [binding.lgtv.internal.LgtvConnection] - lgtv connectionstatus of ip=192.168.1.99 changed from CS_NOTCONNECTED to CS_PAIRED

2017-12-26 13:44:34.453 [INFO ] [binding.lgtv.internal.LgtvConnection] - sendpairkey with result=200 successconnectionstatus=CS_PAIRED

I have the same problem - paired successfully, when I send an App_Execute command (“Internet”), I get the envelope=null error. Once I’ve manually opened the browser on the TV, sending a Browser URL (as in the binding instructions), doesn’t do anything, and doesn’t generate an error.
