After some experimentation I still couldn't detect any errors showing up, 
however, I did remember I noticed some strange anomalies after using 
dependency:purge-local-repository the other day - where that goal seems to 
delete all the local artifacts, doesn't clean up any of the meta-data files in 
the .m2 repository, which triggers problems with version range based builds ( 
such as my integration build here ) when metadata exists for files that don't.

After I rm -rf'd my entire .m2/repository/mygroupidhere directory and watched 
maven download 400 odd pom versions everything seemed to work fine.

So I suspect this is more an issue with the dependency plugin trashing things 
more than aether, but maybe aether could be more graceful around broken 
metadata. If I get some time in the morning/weekend I'll see if I can setup a 
broken ./m2 setup and a test project to reproduce.
