I think my simulation is hard to argue with too.
Here is the mistake in interpretation of your voltage divider experiment:
You expect the output voltage to be half the total voltage, because R and X are equal.
But that's wrong. The voltage divider gives R divided by total impedance, and that total impedance magnitude is sqrt(R2 + X2) in this case.
