I see what you did there.

You are right. My comment can't solve the whole story.

Still, some middlebox/stateful firewall/etc. messing with 169.0.0.0/8 is plausible.

I'm suspicious about the IP 169.150.221.147 My guess: there is some misconfigured bogons IP filter and instead of 169.254.0.0/16 (rfc3927) there is something like 169.0.0.0/8 configured to be blocked on some firewall

I once was a customer of an ISP that mistakenly blocked the whole 192.0.0.0/8 net, which caused some confusion, but they fixed it after I pointed it out.

perlre Metacharacters documentation states: $ Match the end of the string (or before newline at the end of the string; or before any newline if /m is used)

(/m enables multiline mode)
