Yes, use the newer version with the "fi" parameter.
The one I use says cutechess-cli 1.2.0.
Will have to look for a link, forget where I got it.
Thank you! This does the trick. I am still using 1.0.0 from 2017 which hasn't go this option yet. Here is the commit:

I also use several other params (like restart and wait).
I am not sure about the option "restart=on". Isn't it better to reuse the process and not pre-calculate everything again?
Issue with all info posted on OliThink GitHub with a 1,000 game match between versions, just FYI.
Thank you a very much. This is quite surprising, as my test with this very timecontrol "0.10+1.0" and the exact same opening file yields are completely different result:
Try running with the cutechess command I used in the issue post.
Only 10 of 12 cores used.
Full 6 and select 7 men syzygy adjudication for one.
Restart and wait.
Check your pgn for forfeits on time or other errors if you were using the 32 games at a time results.
Regarding restart on, at one point Lc0 was giving very different match results with and without restart, so I just keep in on all the time now, even for A/B engines. At this time control it does not take any significant time I think.
restart=MODE Set the restart mode to MODE which can be:
'auto': the engine decides whether to restart (default)
'on': the engine is always restarted between games
'off': the engine is never restarted between games
Setting this option does not prevent engines from being
restarted between rounds in a tournament featuring more
than two engines.
