I have. Unless the transcription of the radio exchange is incorrect, the
plane was not where it was supposed to be as per clearance. More, it
appears that the radios were tuned to the wrong NDB (if I read that part
correctly) in such a way that would make the incorrect location make sense.

A conflict of interest is never a good thing, but - again, unless the cited
radio traffic is suspect - I'm not sure why the conclusion is to be
doubted.
