Normally, if the country is blank, it's not confirmed. Thus the upload
isn't confirmed.
It seems that some of your Ducie QSOs have been confirmed and some
aren't. This may be a LotW bug, or something else. If you log in to
LotW and use "Most Recent QSLs" are all of your Ducie QSOs showing up?
If not, what leads you to believe that they've been confirmed on LotW?

If you select "Most Recent QSLs" you will only see confirmed LOTW contacts.
If you select "Most Recent QSOs" you will see all contacts, both
confirmed and unconfirmed, with the presence of the country name
signifying those that are confirmed.
As for VP6DX, I would give them some time. They uploaded over seven
THOUSAND contacts in one batch and I think they overwhelmed the LOTW
processor. All of my contacts with them are in the online VP6DX log,
I contributed more than the minimum $$ they ask for priority LOTW
submissions, yet none of my contacts show up on LOTW as confirmed.
