That genuinely surprises me, since your partner is assessed in a similar manner to the Partner of a New Zealander Resident Visa applicants (per generic residence instruction
R2.1.15), and those applicants are routinely asked to provide updated relationship information if people's evidences in the partnership thread on this forum (it's usually for INZ to satisfy themselves that the relationship hasn't ended between the application being lodged and the decision being made). I myself was asked for updated relationship information just prior to our SMC application going into 2PC, so it sounds to me like it's something that the Immigration Officer simply missed -- don't be surprised if this comes back from 2PC as a remedial action.
