There's something in the back of my mind that MuMetal is easily
magnetized. If that's true, and if the FRS-C and/or FE-5680 cases are
made of MuMetal (seems like a good chance), they should be demagnetized
anytime they come in contact with a magnet.

Thank you for the info, I used to attach a magnetic mount surface
thermometer to my FRS-C to check its operating temperature after
installing it in a box. I think it is time to power it up and after
some days check it against the GPS.

I found the cause of the 4 mHz frequency jump. I have an LPRO-101, an
FE-5680, power supplies and a Motorola M12T GPS board in a surplus case.
When I put the case away to work on another project I piled the hockey
puck antenna and lead in the case and it happened to land on the
FE-5680. I noticed the antenna stuck firmly to the FE-5680 case when I
got the project back out. I found I could get a 6 mHz (0.6 ppb) shift
comparing the frequency with residual magnetism from the magnet stuck on
the FE-5680 case to the frequency after demagnetizing the FE-5680 case.
Unintentional C field adjustment. Dope slap, live and learn.
