The messages from Apr 26, are they from a hook?

If I remember correctly there have been changes to packet processing
that affected the moment of decoding and translation of packet contents.

So if the messages are for example, from a PreClientHook the following
note from the manual may apply.

5.4.27 PreClientHook
...
Caution: At the time this hook is run, integer attributes have not yet
been unpacked and decoded, and encrypted attributes have not yet been
decrypted. If you need unpacked, decrypted versions of these attributes,
consider using a per-client ClientHook instead.
