It’s an exception. There are a few IC-lines that can be used with the D-Ticket on certain relation. The Navigator is right in this instance.

There are a few IC trains that basically act as RE replacements. The IC between Stuttgart and Singen (which I think is the connection in question here?) is one of them. More information here (can’t find the Englisch version, but I guess you can just translate the page): [https://www.bahn.de/service/informationen-buchung/nahverkehrsfreigabe](https://www.bahn.de/service/informationen-buchung/nahverkehrsfreigabe)

One part of that train is probably RE and the other part is IC. That is why it is included in D-Ticket. Weird but I have seen such a connection before as well

„The Deutschlandticket also allows travel on long-distance trains on the Gäubahn line between Stuttgart and Singen. This agreement was reached between the Ministry of Transport and DB Fernverkehr (DB Long-Distance).“
There are some lines like this where the IC runs the whole route but for a specific section it is also a RE train and therefore the Deutschland ticket is valid on that part.

The RE87 and IC485 are physically the same train. You can use that train with any local ticket.
The reason is that the “Gäubahn” between Stuttgart and Singen does not have enough capacity to run local and interregional trains at the same time. So they decided to designate an interregional train as a local one.
You can notice that the time and platform of the RE87 exactly matches the time and platform of the IC485.
