Well, this did not turn out to be the fix. Interestingly, in the DHCP audit logs, server 2 doesn't even appear to be trying to update PTR records. There are no events at all of type 30, 31 or 32. (DNS update request, DNS update failed and DNS update succesful.)
Server 1 has lots of 30s and 32s. Perhaps a restart of the server/service is in order, though the problematic server was just restarted a little over a week ago.
