Multi Function steering wheels and cold weather

I've got an Octavia II, and a a few of us have had problems with our multi-fucntion steering wheels.

I'm posting this here as well to ask if the problem has also been seen on any Superbs.

Does anyone lose function of the steering wheel controls when the car is cold (in cold weather)?

It's an annoyingly intermittent fault which my dealer has struggled to diagnose, so I'm keen to hear from people with the same problem. Thanks.
