You mentioned using ntp 4.2.0. You can find your version's "broadcastdelay" documented at: http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.0/miscopt.html It reads to me like the behavior has changed in newer versions. For ntpd 4.2.0 (circa 2003), it appears the unicast delay calibration is always attempted, and the broadcastdelay value is only used if the attempt fails. If you upgrade to a recent version, using specifying broadcastdelay short-circuits the attempt.
