How are you connecting it to measure the common mode impedance? I don't
think you can just connect the input leads together and output leads
together like you do with a 1:1, but I haven't taken the time to think
much about how you really should measure it. . .

Yes, I measured with the leads connected together as you described.
However, after I posted my question this morning I looked around and
found I had an Elecraft BL-1 current balun. This balun can be
connected as a 1:1 or 4:1 by just moving two wires on the circuit
board - no other changes are necessary.
I measured the BL-1 in both configurations, using identical methods
which show close agreement.
You can see the results at:
