Here's the update:

Spoke to PCNA Customer Commitment this morning. The rep keyed in my VIN #, and says the build date is 6/20/86. He's baffled why the sticker from Germany would be so wrong, and also why my COA doesn't have a build date on it. He says contact the dealer parts manager, who might have better "connections" to Porsche for resolving the issue.

Parts manager says he doesn't have any special connections, but promised to order me another sticker tomorrow. It'll be another 3 months to find out if they get it right the second time.

Here's my theory. The 3 and the 6 are right next to each other on the number pad. Whoever keyed the info into the sticker-making machine probably meant to key 06/86, but fat-fingered a 3 instead of a 6 without realizing it, and without catching it afterward.
