Hello again, 

Hmm, that should produce similar results to mine. One possibly important
difference is that the VNA ports are perfectly matched 50ohm ports, but that
shouldn't make that much of a difference. Have you ever tried to connect a
dummy load to one of the ports (leaving the KAT500 in the normal shack
wiring otherwise), select it and see how much stuff leaks through from the
other two ports? I will send you an E-mail so you get my E-mail address. But
I don't doubt your interpretation of the scans.
