If LH wishes to discriminate towards TK,I frankly think it would be more honest to say so uppfront,rather than making people wait for minutes,while other PAX are clearly wondering if your some sort of imposter.
Did your BP say TKP or TK*G?
Sometimes I get a TKP on a LH BP and then it takes them bit to verify you are *G despite presenting the card.
Also happened with UA. UA also often prints as UAP.
The membership cards without embossing are easy to print and I found them on offer on the Silom night market in Bangkok recently. With fake cards in the system you want to make sure that you allow only those entitled into your lounge.
So if the BP doesn't clearly display your status, this might be the problem.
