Comparing that to the ~20 ohms of the Hustler and bugcatcher leads me to
suspect the difference is in the loss resistance which is consistent with
observed performance on the air.

There's something wrong with the bugcatcher feedpoint impedance
unless there was a matching coil, cap, or transformer at the base.
Did you have any coils shorted out on the loading coil for tuning
purposes? Shorted coils lower the Q.
