Richard,
It sounds like the balun at the loop's feed point is
adding inductance, not capacitance, wouldn't you think?
As for the 'why' of doing it that way, I can think of
several reasons, both intentional and not, ranging from
a "lets see what happens", to "oops, forgot to disconnect
the thing"...

Hi Doc,

A current balun design should be a simple short length of open coax
with ferrite beads = capacitor. This is one reason why it is benign
in this mis-application.
