I suspect the 50 Ohm load is pretty much purely resistive. The antenna may have reactive components that even with a very low standing wave ratio, may cause the shutback circuit to do so. Sometimes a different length of jumper cable may change the reactance vector. Wonder what the Antenna and Transmission line are. I would be surprised if a new DB224 with 1/2" Andrew LDF yielded the results you see.
