Research direction
Start with the micro:bit simulator behavior for a v2 board when a project contains the play tone block, using the reproduction steps in this issue. Trace where the simulator decides to show the alligator-clipped audio jack; done means v2 simulations no longer show those clips while the v2 board remains visible.
