X10 SBUS input gives steady flickering

Out of curiosity, I ordered this $14 generic SBUS to PWM converter device from Amazon.  In the photo below it is to the right of the X10+v2.

   

I used a Futaba S-FHSS transmitter signal to talk to a Futaba R2000SBM (SBUS) receiver, which in turn acted as relay to output SBUS to a DragonLink transmitter module.

On the receiver end a DragonLink Nano Rx output SBUS to the generic SBUS-PWM converter.  Interestingly, both analog and digital servos worked smoothly, without notchiness.

   

Now I'm confused.  This $14 device appears to be happy with the DragonLink SBUS signal where the X10 is not happy with it.  (God only knows what is going on in the device.)  I do not trust it to fly, but I will set it up in a car for ground testing.  I haven't tested failsafe yet.

I believe that DragonLink uses 12 channels - maybe that's something that the X10 sees as it expects 16 channels, consistent with the SBUS standard.  Maybe this device ignores that?
