Then what year was an additional vent fan added over the bunk?
We are still looking for a low mileage 27’ mid bath or 31’ permanent twin beds probably 2012 or newer, ready to fly and drive.
According to Andy Baird's excellent online LD Guide (link here (http://www.andybaird.com/travels/LD-guide-web/changes.htm)), the last year for the escape hatch was 2011.

Does anyone on this site consider the change a safety hazard? It means there is no emergency escape from the cab over bed.

For me it is not a safety hazard. If I were able to get out of the hatch in a fire so bad that I could not get out of the door I don't know that I would make the trip off the RV. It is all relative to your physical condition and age. At first I regretted the idea of loosing the safety hatch but given how we use the RV I would rather have a Max Air fan and vent there. We sleep in the two beds near the big windows. I think at least my wife if not both of us could get out the windows.
Also no other manufacturer does a escape hatch. I wonder if LD discontinued the hatch as much because they could no longer source a vent that large.

they still sell these in most sizes...
An interesting link. The Hengs 17 x 24 lid $62 Amazon appears to be the exact same lid I just paid $125+tax to Lazy Daze. Replaced an escape hatch lid on a 2001 MB. On my 23.5 TK I use the hatch (slowly ooze through) to clean my solar panels. Certainly wouldn't try to get out of, or through, quickly. Amazon sells the complete hatch for less than $100, if you wanted to put one in a coach that didn't come with one. I'm still looking for one where the lid opens completely flat onto the roof while keeping the screen in place. RonB
