Hello again, I found the domain name from a different source.
This RSP transfer completed normally in every respect. There was no "behind the back" changes. It does show correctly in the OpenSRS RWI. The Manage Interface doesn't show the changes for the simple reason that it's not supposed to. I believe the source of the confusion is that DNS info never changes during a transfer. This is a common mis-understanding.
