I think what counts is not the way the target station is operating but rather the way the spotter station is operating. If the spotter had Split engaged, for example to dither its calling frequency in order to stand out in the pileup, then the spot may specify split and cause your symptom, even though the DX station is operating simplex on a single freq. This won't happen all the time - it's a complex interaction among the spotter's rig, operating mode, logging software, Telnet interface, and your Telnet interface, rig, logging software, and settings. I don't think there is anything you can do about it except be aware. (Or maybe you can convince all the hams in the contest to use RIT/XIT/CLAR instead of Split when calling a simplex pileup? Good luck! And RIT/XIT/CLAR can provoke some frequency anomalies of their own.)
