Any pre-hotlinked files in your Template? Or pre-placed DWG/DXF files somewhere? Those may bring in their own attributes.
Also, libraries may contain MASTERGDL files that can create attributes.
Also, copy-pasting elements from other project files may bring in their own attributes.

In the Attribute Manager are any of the imported attributes italicized? This means they are brought in via GDL. Usually a library part included in a library or add-on, but this kind of problem usually affects fills and surfaces, etc. I haven't seen it myself with layers.
If you copy/paste from other files, it will bring in all the attributes of those elements. Same with hotlink moduling. This can play havoc with polluting your attributes but it shouldn't overwrite them, thus changing your layer combos, etc.
That sounds like more of an add-on issue to me. Try contacting Cadimage they are very responsive and should be able to help you narrow down the issue whether it's theirs or not. Please let us know what you figure out!

Typically when a hotlink is removed, it also removes all the attributes associated with it.

1. Copy the 2D line from the infected file.
2. Paste it into a new file in AC19.
3. Now, copy the 2D line you just pasted to the AC 19 file from the file.
4. Paste it into another new file in AC19.
