We found the problem and it's worth documenting.

*One* of our memcached servers was missing an entry for itself in /etc/hosts.
This meant that this one server could not connect to memcached on localhost.
Since we have multiple memcached servers, the error was intermittent.
Adding an IPv4 entry for the server in the bad /etc/hosts file solved the 
problem.
