Can anyone figure out what's going on in Step 3 for Group 1 of this tournament:

It's Swiss, so every step should start at roughly the same time. That's true for four of the five pairing that all started within an hour of each other. But the last game still in progress started almost two days later.

On my end, the start date times show as the same (one group started playing earlier than the other, but that's normal because in Swiss system groups progress independently from each other).

I wanted to take a closer look at the table that looked like it started late, because the first move wasn't made until almost 2 days after table creation. Something else looks off.
Here are the URLs for 4 of the 5 tables:
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=906040916&gs=1
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=906042916&gs=1
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=906046916&gs=1
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=906047916&gs=1
If you click on those, you get the version of the "Game has ended" page for those tables that has the replay button, and all of them identically show "Created 2026-08-27 at 06:27."
The equivalent URL for the "weird" table is
https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=906043916&gs=1. But if you click on that link, instead of going to the "Game has ended" page with a replay button you get redirected to
