Just a thought as the off-time before the problem reappears seems to be very long, may the mercury in the tube be involved in some way? That would take minutes to condense. The loss of ionization is a microsecond process, so the explanation must be something else. The mercury insertion is also something that could had some process variations at the manufacture making some tubes worser than other even in the same batch.
