Michael-

I have a linux master server that is running 6.5GA, and when I
inventory my robot, I see that my ABC123L1 barcodes ARE getting turned
into ABC123 mediaIDs like they should.

Here's my relevant setting:

Robot Inventory screen --> Advanced Options button --> Media ID Generation tab

  Robot Number=0, Barcode Length=8, Media ID Generation Rule=1:2:3:4:5:6

Does that match what you have configured?
