Their FCC call sign is WNAB748 (Their ULS listing is here --> ULS License - Public Safety Pool, Conventional License - WNAB748 - ANCHORAGE, MUNICIPALITY OF) so it's probably simply a miscoded CW ID in their repeater controller.
The ID may start up just prior to the radio keying (or just prior to your radio picking up the signal) since the initial "M" could be a "W" without the initial dit. Who knows where the "B" disapeared to though.

I think that you have solved the question! It seems that at least via the method that I use to listen (Internet audio feed) the initial "dit" in "W" is not being transmitted thus I hear "M". I assume that this problem is indeed real and that it happens on site as well when one listens in manual (not in scan) via RF. Thus there may be a transmit key time delay.... This could possibly be created through a digital link or other digital conversion incorporating an error correction step (like FEC) to correct for lost packets or headers (this is assumption and speculation).
As for the "B".... Listening closely I have noted that sometimes it is transmitted and sometimes it appears to be missing. I have no explaination at all for that beyond "the IDer is intermittanly broke".!
In any case thanks for the creative advice and look up! I think that you have it solved!
