Old clip showing the other odd "bug" I encountered with that whole BN2 thing, along with the AntiNavi thing. Here, trying to use Recovery randomly activates AntiRecov on you.
No, I never figured any of this out, this is simply here for archival sake.

For full context:

When I first played Battle Network 2, sometimes one of 2 things would occur in battles:
When I tried to use a Navi Chip, AntiNavi would automatically activate for the enemy, though instead of me being attacked, nothing happened as Roll seemingly spawned offscreen.
When I tried to use Recovery, AntiRecov would automatically activate and I took damage instead.

Initially, I figured it had to do with the dump, and tried from multiple different sources. However, this kept persisting, so it wasn't on the game itself.

Initially, I played using RetroArch gpSP core for this game, but the moment I switched over to standalone mGBA, it stopped. Thus, it was an emulator thing. Why that happened at all, I was unsure.

I reached out to the TREZ twitter in DMs (run by Prof and Midnite) about the AntiNavi thing, and Prof responded saying he had never seen it. He suggested it had to do with cheats, though I didn't have any active.

Over 2 years later, I'm still left wondering what exactly happened there. I can only guess that something in gpSP's code specifically triggered some measure (like when anti-piracy stuff gets triggered, though this game likely doesn't have that). Even then, the game's TCRF page doesn't have anything suggesting this kind of stuff, so uh, yeah.
