You nailed it (as usual), with one caveat.  In the postgres DB the column type is geometry, but when I use the 'Guess geometry type and srid' from the SQL view for the layer, it is filling in the type as LineString.  This is a bit odd since the table contains a mix of both LineString and MultiLineString entries.  If I manually change it to geometry it reverts to rendering as expected.

So now the question is, is this misapplication of data type worthy of a bug report?

GeoServer follows a strict type system (based on its WFS heritage) and
will convert a MLS into a simple linestring in one of the possible ways, connecting the bits.

If that's not the case, then yes, please do share a minimal data set to reproduce.
