I have someone insisting that a receptacle that is GFCI protected VIA an upstream device has to be marked as GFCI protected. I say no. Am I having a senior moment?

Not required directly by the NEC but as Bob stated it cold possibly be part of the listing included in the instructions. I've never seen such a requirement.

Are they thinking of 406.4(D)(2)(c)?

NEC said:
(c) A non?grounding-type receptacle(s) shall be permitted
to be replaced with a grounding-type receptacle(s)
where supplied through a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
Grounding-type receptacles supplied through the ground-fault
circuit interrupter shall be marked ?GFCI Protected?
and ?No Equipment Ground.? An equipment grounding
conductor shall not be connected between the grounding-type
receptacles.
