In my case, I was sniffing in my core which is near the server and far from the client, and like you I was seeing "normal" behavior except that the client continually asked for an address despite the server sending offers. Once I mirrored the client side (not easy, btw) I saw that dfvrxia device in line of the pathi from the server to the client was rejecting the DHCP process by sending NAKs. Just something to keep in mind - the client may be acting on what it sees which may or may not be what you see, depending on where your sniff point is.
