If not, is there a way (short of packet captures) to verify whether or not the DoNotAge bit is being sent on an LSA?

Shouldn't packet capture be easy, as it's control-plane so you can
just save PCAP directly from CLI? You could probably even in transit
log+count these on MX transit with flexible firewall filter matching
on correct bit-offset.
