I tried log-level=info and flew around Sembach until it happened again.  
Here's some console output:

...

I've heard others talk of this problem, but this is the first time I've seen 
it  myself.  Could it be the European terrain data resolution versus U.S. 
terrain data resolution?  Anyway, it would seem that a fix would be to keep a 
copy of the last tile info, and if no tile is found on the next update then 
the last one can be used until a new one appears.
