The box that I have has a black case, marked "RPC-Modul Made in
Germany". According to Linum Software the grey box is an older
version.

Yes, the LED pattern is very regular and the receiver is at a safe
distance (approx. 10 m) from the computer.

conclude that the reception is o.k., but somehow an additional bit
(or pulse?) gets inserted at the beginning. BTW, the same happens with
the dcfd program.

Maybe I should use an oscilloscope and look at the pulse train from
the receiver?

Identical here, except for an additional "-iutf8".

I don't have the "prefer maxpoll 6" but that should not matter.
