Disabling IPv6 on both the client and eliminating the ACL on the controller.  
Also mDNS is an issue with MAC clients.  We disabled mDNS at the controller 
level as well.

At the controller CMD what's the result of 'Show ip igmp group'? also run 'show 
datapath utilization' and make sure your CPU's are close to zero.

No, but we might try that.  The issue happens only some of the time, and only 
to some clients.  From our observation it appeared to be caused by load (the 
more students on at a time, the more likely to happen). We thought maybe it was 
a broadcast/multicast problem, but traffic graphs show that the MC rate is very 
low overall, and doesn't spike when the issues occur.

Even when the issue occurs, it only affects some clients, and the clients it 
affects can vary from one day to the next.

So I'll try disabling v6, but that seems a little too deterministic...  ;-)

As a side note, we also have an issue with our Aruba controller where it won't 
pass v6 traffic at all, so I doubt this is the case (as soon as we say "ipv6 
firewall enable", all v6 traffic gets dropped, even if the ACL is "any any any 
permit").
