Several possibilities:

1. While having your bike serviced (you did have it serviced sometime 
during the first year didn't you?) a mechanic noticed that the vent was 
installed backwards and fixed it.

2. Whatever crud had plugged the hose broke loose from vibration.

3. Whatever was causing the hose to be pinched was moved, either 
intentionally or not.

4. The gremlins found a nicer home and took up residence there.
