Yep, all they did was sending a replacement tube.
It was the front tire. Luckily my tube had only a small hole, which I patched. After making sure the rim strip is centered and covers all the holes properly, I carefully threaded the deflated tube in, making sure it's centered too and the strip stayed in place everywhere. Then inflated it to 50 psi and was a happy e-bike commuter (7 miles one way) for two weeks until I also got the safety notice e-mail.
At the time I didn't anticipate the risk of this causing the tube to rupture or flatten quickly, and my rear tire hadn't deflated at all, so I didn't check it. Will do that next.
I've never seen a rim with a loose rim strip. Looking forward to their solution...
