Posting the same bug report multiple times isn't going to magically
speed up its resolution.

It seems to me that it's rather the left-hand address that is the
problem.  Also, it is an initialization problem: once the calc machinery
has worked once, that very same formula you give works just as it should
until you leave the table and try again.  Beyond that, I don't think I
know enough about the innards of org-table to help.

If you install from Git you can install any version desired.

You might consider one of these workarounds:

|---|
| 1 |
| 2 |
|---|
| 3 |
#+TBLFM: @>$1=vsum(@address@hidden)

|---|
| 1 |
| 2 |
|---|
| 3 |
#+TBLFM: @II=vsum(@address@hidden)
