New Finnish passport not working at UK e-passport gates

This is not strictly the right forum for this but thought that this would be a reasonable way to reach Finnish passport holders. Hopefully it will be allowed...

I have a recently renewed Finnish passport that just can't be read by any of the e-passport gates at UK airports such as LHR. First I thought I'm just unlucky, but today when queuing to the manual passport check desk I noticed another Finnish passport holder in front of me: they were complaining about the exact same issue. It got me thinking that there could be some broader incompatibility problem here.

Does anyone here have this issue? Any ideas who to contact, UK border force or the Finnish authorities who issue the passport?
