This is of course a bug, because L1V would be their limiter/maximizer plug-in, not the reverb, see also their download page.
It's a "bug" in the plugin, not Audacity. Anwida named the DXReverb Light as "L1V" (look at the title bar in the effect).

The only reason it showed in the Effect menu as "Anwida Soft: L1V" in older versions of Audacity was because we sorted the effect list by vendor name.

If you want that old behaviour (which many thought was a "bug"), you can open the Effects Preferences and choose the option to sort by publisher and effect name.

Yes I know, probably should have mentioned that. I wrote a related bug report to their Technical Support on their website today and already got a reply:
Re: Support request for DX Reverb Light

Thank you for your feedback.
A new release of the DX Reverb Light will be available shortly (within
the end of this month).

Best regards

Thanks for mentioning that option, I will do that for the time being.
