Sounds like a reasonable explanation. Is there anything I can do to try
to pin down the problem?

I understand that. But I'm afraid I can't provide any such image.
I don't think Juniper has done anything extra-ordinary at this point

triggering the bug using the same tools as them. Will let you know if I
succeed.
