Presumably this was an error with VizRT. Viz-generated graphics can be set to “copy” another feed, or be led by another feed with variations. This is how the same gallery can/has, quite regularly, put out a feed of the national news for BBC One with no ticker or flipper, while the same feed on NC has a clock, bug and ticker/flipper.
It’s also how simulcast programmes in the days pre-merger could be simultaneously branded as “BBC World News” and “BBC News” (channel) for the UK.
The UK feed of the NC still exists as a separate service, to allow for opt-outs, but is obviously set to sync to the main, formerly-WN feed, the majority of the time.
During simulcast BBC One bulletins, it should be set to sync with BBC One but allow the NC variant of the graphics to be shown. It sounds like the system was somehow trying to sync to both BBC One and the global feed of the NC at the same time! In the past, Viz has also had issues and the channel has temporarily lost the flipper/ticker. This used to happen quite often back when the move to NBH first occurred, as the system had a few bugs.
You don’t see it so often now.
