...d lKa) are equal the model degenerates to a different analytic
form. If you were to express the corresponding system of ordinary
differential equations in the matrix form (as described in Appendix 5 of
Bates and Watts (1988)), it would be a Schur triangular block and the
special techniques for nondiagonalizable matrices, described in section
A5.2 of that appendix, must be used.
The clue here is that the first two parameter values are getting very
close to each other and this shows up as a singularity. The fitted
model is determined by two parameters, not three.
