Seems that when using the aiding and bucking inductances method
for measuring k, along with the typical formula that's generally used
(I can't remember it offhand), the higher couplings give wrong results.
It makes the k seem tighter than it really is.  Using the 60 Hz
AC current method you mentioned, then all is accurate for k
measurements.
