I have read about this problem but have never experienced it. I now carry a second compass (different brand but similar design) and I keep them as separated as possible. I have not had to reset polarity, but have read that it works. I like Silva, Suunto and Brunton.
Also: I would love to hunt in New Zealand but doubt if I will ever be able to afford it. I spent a week in Sidney, Australia about 43 years ago (a brief "vacation" during my tour of duty in Vietnam.)
