I entered the issue description according to 20180219 NFD call. Please update if it's inaccurate.
As I heard from the conference call, these applications are using the same signing key to register prefixes. If they use the same timestamp or the timestamped Interests are received out of order, the validator will reject them. This is explicitly an unsupported scenario as indicated in CommandInterest:
Since public key cryptography is used, sharing private keys is not recommended. If private key sharing is inevitable, it is the key owner's responsibility to keep clock synchronized.
The solution is to use a distinct key for each application.
