Update: 

Blocks.Router uses $toJSONFormat() {CR/LF formatedOutput }
this hidden function hasn't been ported. replacement with %ToJSON()  does it as well.
So TREE view works nice.

Map view gets no content (and no colored dots  crying ).
Reason:  Block Count=0 and also %Fill -> nothing to display (makes sense somehow). 
This is also with the original classes in 2016.1.4 ;
Looks like an privilege issue.
