I've had trouble with airdrop from phone to mbp when the mbp was on VPN. I don't know how airdrop works but I'm guessing the fact the VPN takes over DNS (and blocks requests to all other nameservers) has something to do with it.

Who knows though. Apple's engineers love writing software that doesn't produce useful logs.

They do love clogging the logs with useless messages, though, as anyone who’s opened Console can testify.
