Except that an UNPK would leave the field 0C, not C0, so this sounds
like an old programmers tale to me.

No.
UNPK DSNAME(7),=PL4'0' (X'0000000C')
Would leave DSNAME = X'F0F0F0F0F0F0C0'
Because of the sign in the last nibble. Remember that PACK and UNPK both
do the same thing to the last byte: reverse the two nibbles.
