My best guess is that it matches the ari-dx rule 'italy does not count
as a country multiplier'.

Ok, I'm not good enough at C programming to get that fixed.

My current go at rules/ari_dx has

MULT_LIST=arimults
DX_&_SECTIONS
WYSIWYG_MULTIBAND

and the effect is that the multipliers are way too high. Points are
counted correctly with the earlier shown rules for points.

To just get the log right and not get confused by the multipliers I am
also testing with RULES=contest.

I found that setting CTCOMPATIBLE made the problem go away for me. So
this is also a thing with me being new to tlf.
