Perhaps some corrections need hardware modification in addition to firmware support. So, the B version could go out now with the corresponding firmware changes to follow.

So that leaves me wondering why the B revision, rather than just keeping the same model and tightening the spec.

Well, they turned the front panel gray on the E36100, so that's worth a major rev  ;D
They more or less seem to have done the same with the N6705C, which AFAICT is a N6705B, except gray and RoHS compliant.

Now, for the E36300B, I just got some feedback from Keysight: "We checked with marketing, and the document that shows the E36300"B"'s is in error. We recently came out with "B" versions of our small E36100 family, but not the 300's."

Oopsie!

Basically, in CC mode, it seems that whenever the output voltage is less than approximately half the Set Voltage on the PSU, the PSU "silently" outputs 10% more current. That's a pretty broken CC mode.
"Manual" series mode

Interestingly enough, I tested this earlier this morning and found out that my E36312A goes beyond its ratings: it puts out 1.1A in the output, while the PS is rated for 1A only.

I followed your method and I am using the latest firmware (updated two days ago).

Yes, it seems all the E3631xA units have this problem with about 10% higher current output under some conditions. Hopefully Keysight can fix this with a FW update
