Research direction
Start by reading the linked esp8266 v2.2 to v2.3 upgrade report and reproduce the upgrade in Arduino IDE 1.x. Trace the cleanup performed by Boards Manager during the esp8266 package upgrade; done means the generic esp8266 board remains recognized and compilation no longer reports it as unknown.
