Any engine replacement would if the N55B30T0 was a stop gap from the very beginning. And it could very well have been. As I said before, a MY18 engine change for base (i.e. to B58 high output) would be an absolute shitshow for MY16/17 customers who had waited a year to buy only to have the change occur 3-6 months after purchase. MY16/17 would instantly depreciate to about what those residuals indicate. Not the end of the world, but a factor that if known would have had many easily waiting just a few more months for a MY18 allocation.
