Answers: Aha, so it wasn’t related to [Priority and Fairness](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/flow-control/); it is supposed to confirm my instrumentation rather than to indicate some misbehaviour of the workload that I was already probing. Good idea searching the git log (in hindsight perhaps I ought to have queried the source for that character).

  The "PF" field refers to port forwarding.
  
  You may setup port forwarding, ("shift-f" in pod view). This indicator probably means you have setup some port forwarding -- in my case, it prints some weird character.
