Without seeing the model I'm not clear on the cause. In general it is not very useful to compute 1 d.f. tests for parameters that represent only part of a meaningful hypothesis. Note that anova.lrm computes Wald statistics, which are subject to the Hauck-Donner effect (which may not be the cause

The individual tests on coefficients in logistic regression are generally based on a Wald test statistic. Unfortunately there is a bit of a paradox possible in this case where the coefficient is highly significant, but due to a flattening of the likelihood the standard error is overestimated an
