[evlatests] TelCal corruption?

The 30-hour 'flux densities' run was completed Friday night. It
seems to have succeeded in its primary goal -- to break the system in
ways not seen before ... :-(
Ea02 was excluded from the run, since it had no X-band receiver --
despite all other receivers working well. The operator's note explains why:
---------------------------------------------------
Antenna(s) 2 (Data: Lost)
X-band receiver removed for repairs. Excluded from the observation due
to TelCal
corruption if it is included.
-----------------------------------------------------
I'm surprised at this -- as I had thought that TelCal would be more
robust to the absence of a usable signal. Having the antenna taken
out of service is a large price to pay in a multi-band script. Is there
no way that the X-band data from this antenna be recogized by TelCal as
not valid?
