Then, if you can, ask the author of the draft whether TLVs are supposed 
to be padded to 4-byte boundaries and, if they say "no", ask the author 
of the LFAP implementation that sent the packets in question whether 
they were aware that TLVs are not supposed to be passed to 4-byte 
boundaries.  (Perhaps, as per Mark Pilant's suggestion, they just used 
"sizeof(structure)" in their implementation, without realizing that 
structure sizes are often padded to be a multiple of 4 bytes.)
