This is not what I see. I see that the 2nd SETCLIENTID succeed. Then
the RENEW from the 1st client gets ERR_EXPIRED. 1st client does the
SETCLIENTID/SETCLIENT_CONFIRM. Then when the 2nd client's RENEW is
sent it gets ERR_EXPIRED and it sends SETCLIENTID.

At the time the "competing" SETCLIENTID arrives the other client
definitely does not have an expired lease.
