I thought they moved to 13755? I know that I failed to check their website last week and was bitten when my programmed recording of 13730 came back with four hours of static. (Not the first time that's happened to me. I had grown complacent.)

I was curious why you noted 13755.  I checked schedule and noted change, was not aware of the proposed switch so soon after B22 started.  I tried 13755 at 1135 utc and nothing noted.  I checked 13730 shortly thereafter, and while unusually noisy, online stream of RNZ Pacific seems to match - 2 OM's talking in English.  Certainly currious 🤔.  Broadcast went off at 1200 without usual RNZ sign off IS, now I'm wondering if this was RNZ.

Very interesting. I made my recording of RNZ Saturday Night as usual, this time tuned to 13755, and it was too faint to be usable although the carrier was present. I make narrow recordings usually, so 13730 was out of range. Maybe next week I'll do an RF instead of IF recording to capture the band and see what's up. But again, I didn't have anything at all last week so who knows. It does appear to be propagating to the east coast better, regardless of which frequency it is.
