From the RasPi, I am able to see the ESP32 as a neighbor, but not as an originator:

Can someone explain to me why this might be occurring, and what I'm missing?
Looks like no one answered here. Most likely because it could be everything. You are comparing two different concepts here - neighbors and originators. The neighbor list is a rather new feature [1] (compared to the actual B.A.T.M.A.N. IV implementation). So a good idea would be to download the newest batman-adv + batctl [2] and compile it with debugging enabled [3] to get more insight [4].
I also don't know what kind of batctl you are using in the moment. Let us just assume for a moment that the bug is not in batctl (just check whether the newest batctl receives the same info via netlink as the file in debugfs [5]). Just keep in mind that both originator output methods remove some originators from the list when they just look "invalid" [6,7].
Kind regards, Sven
