If reproducible you should attempt to catch this in a packet capture.
Load balancing should never "kick off" a user, it only takes affect upon initial association to the AP. load-balancing does nothing to 'already associated' clients.
The "ap busy" message (code 17) is not always honored by the client.
Have you modified any of the default thresholds?

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco "Client Load Balancing"I had similar issues in our Residence Halls on 7.4, but Cisco and support forums advised me against using Client Load Balancing and Client Band Select. I made two changes and I haven't had a report of this since. First, I reduced the amount of APs I had in the Vlans. The second thing was enabling bandwidth constraints on the SSIDs. What model APs are you using? How many APs per Vlan? Are you using any QoS? Before upgrading our APs we also had these issues, but since upgrading them to the 1600/2600/3600 series the fixes I mentioned worked.********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.LaMarr Baucom

with either/both the Load Balancing or Band Select, so for the controller
hosting the APs in the Computer Science building, we had to disable both
options. (Similar description to your issue, where the client would
constantly report being kicked off, and then rejoin. However, in MINT it's
problematic to constantly rejoin the SSID).
