I tested a hub device attached to port A with a few 100cm grove cables and I was able to successfully read the i2c address of the ENV sensor and also others. I tested with the i2c_tester arduino program https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/blob/master/examples/Advanced/I2C_Tester/I2C_Tester.ino perhaps its just an isolated incident.
