On further investigation this is not a database problem. The reason for the failed update is that the formkey is the same on the first/ second submission and third/fourth submission etc..
The first time the form is generated is using LOAD with ajax=false. The subsequent submits are via ajax. What would cause the formkey to be the same? There is a long pause and some typing between the two submits so it is not an accidental double click.
