Just thinking aloud, if the issue is you have some suspicions about monthRain and the hardware developer is washing his hands of anything involving weeWX then take weeWX out of the equation. Just use a terminal to interrogate the emulator for loop packets and manually work out the monthRain value (2 bytes at offset 52). If it come up as 0 (clicks/tips) then either wait for or simulate a rain event and obtain another loop packet. If monthRain still comes out 0 then the emulator is misbehaving and you have empirical evidence to take back to the developer with no comeback at weeWX. If it comes out with the correct value then I would say your counter reset or something else may have something to do with it. Given the maturity of the vantage driver I think it is unlikely to be the problem.
Looking at the modified engine.py you are running I don't believe it is a factor, it merely prevents a catchup if using software record generation.
