As is well known, the observational equivalence mode is sound, meaning all proofs are real, however, it is not necessarily complete, i.e., attacks may be false.
In your case, you have run into this, and if you are sure the attack is false, then you do not know whether the property holds or not. You only know that in the way you have modeled it, Tamarin won't be able to prove it. Tamarin might be able (with manual exploration or heuristics or oracles) to construct another attack which would be real. So, you truly do not know if the property holds or not.
Cheers,

When I proved the Observational Equivalence, Tamarin found an attack, but after reviewing the attack path, I realized it is not a real attack. Below are the source code ,the attack code and the image of the attack path. Could this be a bug in Tamarin
