Well this is not very good protocol, replying to one's own message, but I did some digging and wanted to report what I found.

Obviously line 6888 isn't a Leader, I found the first one around 16700.
I decided to manually change the layer in the DXF file one Leader section at a time, opening LibreCAD between each change, so I could identify which  block of text was which Leader... and got lucky... the 2nd one I changed didn't show up in the drawing on any layer.
I concluded it must have been one I had previously deleted, so I manually deleted the whole section, saved the file and lo-and-behold, the DXF opens in Trueview without any problems.

So the root cause seems to be because the Leader section is not being deleted completely from the DXF file sometimes.

I got lucky this time, but if a file has many Leaders and you only discover the problem at the end of the day, it is a royal pain to find the correct section.
Anyone have any better ideas? Thanks
