The tool calculates the public key for my test address in the keypath correctly but shows another bitcoin address.  Huh
I see that you've referred to my reply there.
Since you've successfully derived the correct public key, the issue is the selected tab under derivation path:

IanColeman's BIP39 tool has reserved a different address type per tab,
Where the standards "BIP44", "BIP49" and "BIP84" derives legacy, nested-SegWit and native-SegWit respectively.
While in "BIP32", it'll default to legacy no matter what the derivation path is; and in "BIP141" tab, it'll derive the one selected in "Script Semantics" drop-down menu.
