I'm not seeing any DF lines on that station from the internet side,
nor do I see them if I put that packet into a log file and bring it
in.

Perhaps some unprintable characters got lost in the translation as
that's a Mic-E packet.  Your log files might have unprintable
characters in packets from that station.

You might also check your log files to see if you received packets
from that station which didn't make it to the APRS-IS, or perhaps
there was an old packet that put some DF info in the station record
that I didn't see.  I downloaded the last 120 hours of trackpoints.
