OK, I may be onto something here.
I started a new job recently, and did not have access into the VM environment (via the Vsphere Client) until today. What I am seeing is that the network name shows as "network_name (inactive)". I am waiting on an answer from someone here as to which VM network this server should be in. Thanks for all of your responses!

There are around three different locations in the registry where an IP/nic configuration can hang out and bite you and they are semi-dependent on each other. The GUI configuration shows correct information but cmdline doesn't (generally an extra gateway or something). This has never been an IPv6 issue. Generally we nuke the NIC and remove it from the server and add a new NIC. That seems to have given us the cleanest results so far. We have hand edited the registry to point to the correct item as an interim solution.

What I'm told is happening is that when this server tries to Telnet (through a firewall), it is showing as coming from the deprecated address. When I first looked at the server, it did have IPv6 enabled. It has since been unbinded from the NIC and disabled via the registry. It also had DHCP server running, so I eliminated that as well, since it is not necessary anyway. There are no hidden additional NICs (checked anyway, even though Deprecated shows under the same lone NIC as the 10.x.x.x address). Now, I know all about why/how a device configures itself with a 169.254 address (as well as this address not being routable), so this is driving me crazy! I can RDP into the server using it's 10.x.x.x address, so it seems to me that "general" networking is fine. Anyone heard or seen of this before?
