if anyone else has observed this .


Not surprising at all.

Consider the whole black art of adjusting the input match for lowest
noise figure, which may or may not coincide with the largest output
signal for a given input.

All those theorems about matching always have an asterisk about the
assumption that they're reciprocal linear devices with constant
impedances, etc. Start putting nonideal active devices in the mix, and
life gets interesting.
