Rob, I know you know, :) be sure. The error from your picture appears to me each time there is a connector problem ( for example Vpp has a contact issue which appears and disappears intermittently) or the PIC life has ended ( it's not able to retain address 0 content) or the supply voltage is below the specifications for programming.
That is what I can think about. I suggest checking Evans software/firmware pair for newer pics ( if you didn't yet), it is worth it for sure.
