As a follow on...
using tcpdump and snmpget against the data in the dump shows the counters ARE being retrieved, just not registering.
snmpget -v 2c -c community666name 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.3.4 -Oa
IF-MIB::ifInBroadcastPkts.4 = Counter32: 0
tcpdump was run while hand running xymoln-snmpcollect
