This I’m not too sure about.

The field wpcf-micro-class-brians-favorite shouldn’t have any effect on anything.

I’m just guessing, but when it comes to this field micro_class_brians_favorite, there are 2 of them. With a standard WP field, this is a valid way to store multiple values to a single field, but that’s not the case in ACF. One of these values is interfering with the other. I’m guessing that there is some minor difference in the way that ACF gets the value on the front end versus the way it gets the value on the back end. But like I said, that’s just a guess.

I can’t say why this field got duplicated this way, was this field managed by a different plugin or method in the past?

At any rate, you may need to go through and manually delete the duplicates for each post_id to correct the problem on the site.
