For the particular subnet, I've got this
default-lease-time 14400;
max-lease-time 172800;

Unfortunately that doesn't help. But I thank you and others for this
suggestion.
I'll try setting min-lease-time (currently unset) to something like
1200 and see if that helps.

You and others have made the same comment. Even if Nintendo's DHCP
client is obnoxious, I certainly have a greater chance of gaining a
better understanding of what is going on by asking here than by
approaching Nintendo.
Basically what I wanted to know is whether what I'm seeing is anything
to worry about. The answer is "apparently not".
Cheers,
