On that machine, I don't have a phisycal connect with RIG, so
I've used `rigctld -m 1`, set up the "virtual" rig on another
terminal ("rigctl -m 2; F 14002000"), and started Tlf with Drew's
config.

I can't reproduce this issue. When AUTO_CQ sent the CQ, and I
typed a foreign call, it switched to "LOG". I finished the
callsign, pressed TAB, entered the zone, pressed ENTER, then Tlf
sent "TU KB9FKO", and stayed in LOG mode.
I pressed F12, Tlf switched to AUTO_CQ, and started to sent the
CQ again.

sorry, I have no idea, what happened.

I don't know how many user uses Tlf from the Debian repository.
There is a popularity contest, but the number of users is under
100:
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=tlf
but I think this issue would occured with these users.

could you show me these outputs?
apt-cache show tlf
apt-cache showpkg tlf
Could you try it with another setup, eg CQWW (as Thomas proposed
too).
Just my 2cents: there was a similar issue at my side few years
ago, when I switched from SATA disk to SSD. I've worked on some
sprint contest (DARC Oestercontest...?), and the two modes
switched "too fastly", and sometimes it switched twice, so I got
back the original mode.
As you wrote, you're using Debian Buster Live - em I right that
this uses RAMDISK? Which is faster than an SSD...?
Do you have any permanent installed Debian? It should be in any
virtual system (VirtualBox, VMWare, ...). If yes, could you try
there?
