Are you really seeing download attempts for those XTRA paths in the mobile link? That doesn't make sense to me. The modem firmware shouldn't be doing that IMO, because the whole purpose of the XTRA paths is to download them by other means (e.g. WiFi) and then inject them to the modem. I guess for some reason the modem itself may be doing that by itself? It's definitely not something triggered by ModemManager.
