To answer my own question

I found this thread

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

It looks like the sniffer does not do the normal error detection on the traffic its listening to

Which is interesting, as it implies that the sniffer is using either undocumented SD features or not the normal API calls that a BLE central device would use.

Its a shame that the source to the sniffer isn't public, so that it would be possible to see how it works.
