Can you collect tcpdump of a successful DHCP exchange with this server?

I finally fished out DHCP RFC and it definitely says (even recommends)
to use broadcast for DHCPREQUEST packets.

Either this server is strange and wants unicast DHCPREQUESTs,
or our DHCPREQUEST packets are subtly broken.
In any case, I want to know what exactly is at play here.
