Does it really work for anybody? If so, pls post exact info re mod(s) applied. 
Or is it a hardcoded bug that can only be fixed by a patch from the devs?

I think you're asking how to get back in the 1st person view (on the bridge) after using the next/previous unit keys? If so I am able to return to the ship by hitting F2 (twice I think) then using my mouse wheel to "zoom" (scroll forward). That triggers the Binocs view. Then unzoom with the mouse wheel (scroll back) and you're back on the bridge. Or at least that works for me.
What doesn't work for me - at least not consistently - is using the mouse to pan around when I'm using the next/previous unit view. It worked once... but I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it!
EDIT: I found a work-around to the mouse in unit view mode. I added 1, to the museum_camera contexts line, and 12, to the contexta lines for Camera_on_next_unit and Camera_on_prev_unit. I'm not sure which actually did the trick but it works. No mouse zoom though... have to use the arrow keys for that.
EDIT2: Well I thought I figured it out. Then it just stopped working. I think the whole thing is bugged... which is probably why the devs didn't activate it.
The more you look the more you realize just how NOT READY for prime time this game actually is.
