Not exactly but I wondered how long it would be before someone else noticed these anomalies….

I suspect (but have no way of publicly proving) this is due to the fact that STMv1.3 is limited to max 40 policy rules and earlier STM versions only had max 20.
Therefore depending on the version implemented on a specific DOCSIS3 chassis and number of concurrent service tiers(2,10M,10L,20XL, 50XXL, L30, XL60,100/120 etc) available on a specific CMTS being managed there could well be an insufficient number of policy rules to "manage" all subscribers. Therefore in those cases the low end tiers are not consistently managed to the levels/penalty periods indicated in the published tables!
