The instance attribute is always sent, and is non-empty when the check
is in the middle of an SMTP transaction (i.e. after MAIL and before a
subsequent ".", EHLO/HELO or RSET). In your case it looks like it should
always be non-empty.
Perhaps your parsing of the policy request is incomplete.
Did you read all the attributes up to a blank line?
Is your Postfix release so old that what is true for recent
versions was not true for yours?
Do you have policy callbacks for "ETRN"?
Do post a complete policy request (the full multi-line A/V list prior
to parsing) as recorded by your policy service?
