The 16400 controller with the "scene" keypad caused the conflict.

While it is certainly possible to repeat the entire 31-bit sequence, that
can't be done in sync with the original command like it is with standard
22-bit commands.  The repeat would occur after the extended command has
completed.  However, if the repeat collides with another command that is
tailgating the extended command, both commands would be corrupted.  Other
issues arise if the repeat is sent later when the line is clear.  Of course
the user's program could be modified to include a delay after an extended
command.  But, since there are not many "remote" transmitters that issue
extended commands, I thought the safest approach was to exclude them from
being repeated.
