...when fed a source model that does not contain the requisite _asymmetry_.
It is actually that the BPASS(t) used a mere point model that is imprinting
the symmetrized background in the channel-dependent continuum, and
ordinary (CALIB) selfcal can't compensate for this....

It is more the heuristics than the program. Try doing the BPASS(t) in
the _selfcal_, i.e., with the resolved (asymmetric) model. I.e., different
channels require different _self-cal_solutions in detail.
