I apologize if you have already tried this Richard, but I would look at these few items:
1) have you run tsadmin and see what accounts are logged on? 2) you stated personal account- (is this local to the ws or is this a domain account?) 3) when you ipconfig /flushdns (any errors?) 4) for the termserv, do you have a GP specifically for that server and placed in its ou with loopback?

As I've said, it's only happened about 4 times total, and it does not seem to be repeatable. I'm guessing a plugged-up local DNS cache.
