vsphere API (pyVmomi): different heartbeat results for ESX and VCSA

I'm using the vsphere API (python, using pyVmomi) to check guest heartbeats.  However, I'm getting different results when I check the ESXi host on which the guest is running vs. the VCSA for the cluster.  My environment is a fully-patched 6.7.  

When I get VM.summary.quickStats.guestHeartbeatStatus on ESXi, the status is "green".  But when I check the same on VCSA, the status is gray.

I've cross-checked using the vSphere WebUI using the performance monitor; the guest is reporting 29-30 heartbeats/interval, just like any other guest.  The "Vmware tools" text for the guest is "Running, version:11296 (Guest Managed)" (the guest is VMware's UAG)

Ideas on what to check?
