In addition, the Iota could be defective. As I recall, the converter was replaced at a later time. The Iota drops out of boost after 25 min. That means 14.6V was reached after 5 min of charging or it's defective. It's highly unlikely there's a 1V cable drop.
The word I got was the IQ4 eventually gave out, but was clearly working at the time of the test.
I would go with your original thought. Pairing a 55A IOTA with a single 100 Ah battery is not exactly the recommended installation. This turns out to be a good example of how AGMs have no quick charging benefit when typical RV converter/chargers are employed.
Also, there actually was a "1V" drop. Below is the graph with comments at the bottom. I would call this a fairly highly unusual installation. So in most cases, the IOTA shouldn't drop out of boost/bulk so quickly.
