Hello Christophe - It's a consequence of a correction introduced in 
version 1.54. Before version 1.54, the second argument in the "Layers" 
command was (mistakenly) ignored for point and line extrusions. (This 
second argument permits to force region numbers for the extruded 
elements instead of using the default, automatically generated numbers.)

There are two ways to update your file:

1) remove the second Layers argument (and Gmsh will simply use the
default region number), i.e., replace

Layers { {2}, {2}, {1} }

with

Layers { {2}, {1} }

2) if you want to specify the number by hand, change your Physical
Surface definition to use that number, i.e., replace

Physical Surface(1012) = {5};

with

Physical Surface(1012) = {2};


Take care,

Christophe
