It is definitely unusual! I've never heard of it either.
Your understanding of how it works is the same as mine. If the issue is the Michigan statute being past to collect, you would not expect the offset line to give you the amount when you checked.
I know of no reasonable explanation for it not being offset given what you describe, unless perhaps there was a Michigan refund that covered it first?
