Could it be that the configuration of the fretboard is sufficiently different from what Bet is used to that she isn't pressing as hard with her fingers in that particular position? I'm asking because my guitar, now that I'm actually starting to play it, buzzes a lot. I do think some of this is that the action is too low, but I also notice that it does this when I forget to really mash down on the strings (I'm still strengthening my fingers -- much better than when I started a while back, but still, my left hand is amazingly weak...)

I don't know how much you play, Bet, but I just wonder if it's something physical rather than mechanical, if that makes sense...
