64GB Mavic 4 Pro Broadcasting RID, But No Pilot's Location

My Dronetag RIDER detected a 64GB Mavic 4 Pro where the pilot's location was missing on two different days. Likely flying with the RC 2, given the 64GB version. Not sure how it is broadcasting RID but suppressing the pilot's location!

Exactly what I want, but have no idea how to replicate.

Is there perhaps a hack or workaround for the RC 2 or a loophole where it is not working as designed?

Obviously, this also prevents displaying the drone to pilot distance, as well.

Anyone have any ideas as to how this could happen, where the pilot's location isn't broadcast by RID, but only the drone's location?

Yep - ideal ! Never update the firmware again, lest they correct the issue ! :)
Unfortunately, it's not my 64GB Mavic 4 Pro, so I have no idea why this one is uniquely not sharing the pilot location, presumably from an RC 2. My own 512GB one certainly does broadcast my location using the RC Pro 2. In order to broadcast RID in any form, it has to detect its location in the U.S., so RID is parly functional but not fully compliant with the pilot location missing, which was the whole point of RID.
 
I mentioned this in the other thread, but its technically more on-topic here. I have a Mavic 4 Pro (original 01.00.0300 - have not updated to the new firmware that appears to share the same version #) + RC 2 (Fly v1.18.2) and it does broadcast pilot location via remote ID as picked up by the Drone Scanner android app.

Would be willing to try downgrading to 01.00.0200 or 01.00.0100 if thats possible and re-testing.
