Most peculiar indeed.

Does the interface always get the same address?

Have you tried setting the IP with ifconfig -- after the box is up with the bad 
IP address?

Is there anything in /etc/init.d that might be doing it?

Have you looked at dmesg?  (That 163's gotta be somewhere.)

Have you looked at what's in /etc/network/interfaces.d?  (There's nothing in 
mine, but ifup works as expected here.)

Have you tried Webmin?  (I know, I know, but it works.)

Have you tried pinging the two addresses?  (Not likely, but something's bent 
somewhere.)

A workaround: change the netmask everywhere on your LAN to 255.255.0.0 and let 
the address be whatever systemd wants to assign to it :-)
