I'll assume you work for VM based on that. It would be nice to know why nobody offered to do that. If its NOT a dupicated MAC address (and it is possible that it isn't) what else could it be? I see DHCP discover, but no response.

I'm not convinced Linksys are at fault here, but I may well ask them. In this day and age, there is no excuse for manufacturing kit with identical hardware addresses. Unless we've run out
So, if a user had had their MAC address cloned, the outcome would be different to the new PC / rebuild / ping-pong match I described above?
