T=OFF means text=off. The information from df -v shows that for that file system no default codeset is specified and the textflag is set to off. More information on the txtflag can be found here: chtag - Change file tag information - IBM Documentation<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=descriptions-chtag-change-file-tag-information> As Michael said, df -v shows the default for the file system. It doesn't turn off tagging. If turned on, untagged files are tagged automatically with the defaults.
Can you show us the environment variables that are set in your session (output of env command)? Specifically, _TAG_REDIR_OUT, FILETAG and _BPXK_AUTOCVT are of interest. There are different ways a file can automatically be tagged. The option on the ZFS isn't the only one that can cause this.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I believe T=OFF refers to whether tracing is off or on for that filesystem.
