Now I'm trying to figure out why that calculator says to use so little?

The BF one calculates about the same too so it's probably not far off. Altitude should have little to no effect on the amount needed here. I'd still point to temp being the main culprit. If not enough temp add more time. The only other variable is if the priming solution wasn't distributed in the solution well enough. It usually requires a fair amount of gentle stirring even if you rack on top. If that's the case there could be some bottle bombs upcoming and he just picked a low sugar one.
For interests sake the Cooper's tabs are really handy with this kind of thing, just drop a tab in the bottle and fill. No worry about uneven distribution.
