Advertisement packet loss in Coded PHY vs 1 Mb PHY

Using the following:

Rigado BMD-360 nRF52811 development board.

Softdevice S140 7.0.1

SDK 16.0

Using two development boards inches apart, one development board sends a single advertising event every 12 seconds.  The other development board is continuously scanning (interval and window = 7s).  The packets have 30 bytes of data including a sequence number.  I calculated packet loss based on the missing sequence numbers.

Sending and scanning using the 1 MB/s PHY, in a test of approx. 20 minutes  I get 100% reception of packets.

Sending and scanning using the Coded PHY, in the same test I get ~43% reception of packets, ~57% packet loss.

Is this expected behavior, or could I be configuring something wrong when advertising using Coded PHY?

Another behavior I've seen is for the above condition using the Coded PHY to have a repeating pattern of receiving 3 and missing 2.
