Well, it's repeatable, but I've no idea how lol. Just had exactly the same happen today after doing a lot of testing on the server, but despite spending another hour on it, I can't reproduce the problem.
These machines are suffering from the VMware clock skew issue, so it might be related to that. Probably safe to ignore this for now and I'll raise this again if I ever find what's actually causing it.
