Can you use a traffic sniffer and capture the request packets from
this device ? My guess is that it's put an embedded <non-printing
something> at the front of it's ClientID (which gets stored as UID)
and that's causing the problem.
I've seen a different but related problem with a device that padded
out it's ClientID with nulls - causing DNS updates to fails.
