Hi,
It seems that you are using HIERARCHIC basis functions with 
interior/side dofs decomposition. These basis are in general 
good for L^2 and C^0 spaces but might not be well suited for DPG.
I just guessing here, I'm not an expert of these kind of stabilized 
discretizations.
Why don't you simply switch to L^2 orthonormal HIERARCHIC basis 
without interior/side dofs decomposition. With this latter choice 
you can't impose C^0 continuity 
but you don't have modes with homogeneous traces.
