I can't believe for this specific terminal with CSP, but I've had a chipped Marriott card for almost two years (and chipped CSP since earlier this year), and I've seen attempted (or forced) DCC with EMV transactions on both in Taiwan, Germany, and Australia. It's hard to say what's causing the terminal to reject DCC, but take it as a gift for now until they "fix" the terminal.
