That's really a wrong description. Simultaneous-Use is implemented on
FreeRADIUS, not OpenVPN.

Which shows one accounting packet. i.e. it's useless for telling the
difference between the working and non-working systems.

Run the server in debugging mode, and look at the packets. ALL OF
THEM. Look at the authentication and accounting packets for a working
session, and then compare them to the authentication and accounting
packets for a non-working session.
The differences will be why one works and the other doesn't.
