Evidently Kentmere is having emulsion problems and doesn't want to admit it. Kentmere is now a part of Ilford. Ilford has been pretty good about answering e-mail and its worth trying them. I would copy the above URL to them too. Kentmere either had a bad batch or has contamination problems somewhere in the production or coating of the emulsion or the baryta layer or even the paper. As a general comment, developer should not make much difference, if the paper stains in one it will stain in all assuming it _is_ a paper problem. Of course old developer can cause staining but it has to be _very_ exhausted and that does not seem to be the problem. Its possible that some contaminant in the paper might take a while to makes its presence known.
