I copied the working block below the failing block.

The blocks are now:
1 copied from failing
2 working blocks
1 original failing block
1 working block

This is producing 4 characters of output, from 5 identical blocks. A working theory is that only the original failing block is failing, which can be tested by removing it. An alternative theory could be that only the last block is failing. A tertiary theory could be that a different block is failing each time, or that it the unexpected output is unrelated to failure of a block.

As I type this I will likely make errors from my perception issues.

Output drops to three when the "failing" block's output line is removed!

This means it is not my delusion of it being when and how the source bytes were written, which makes it much easier to troubleshoot.

I'm guessing there's some code after all the blocks that quickly removes the character last output. Something nice and logical.

Whew.
