So this problem seems to have been hardware related ultimately.
On further investigation, after Tim moved swapped identical cards
between two serves and the failure followed the older card, I got to
looking and found that the firmware on the failing card was several revs
below the firmware on the newer card, which was also 1 rev down from the
most recent firmware for the LSI 9240-4i.
So I flashed the firmware on both cards to the latest rev (20.10.1-0061)
and this seems to have cured the problem.
I can manually cat the vpd file in sysfs repeatedly without failure and
I have also been able to run checkbox (which initially triggered the
issue) again without failure.
So I think we can call this a firmware issue. I'm closing it as such.
If this re-occurrs for some reason, we can reopen or just open a new bug
then.
