This is not or may be not so weird: later runs overwrote the aux file that gave you errors in the first place. To avoid this puzzling problems when you are debugging a tex file, always "clean" your directory between latex runs: remove .aux .idx .log etcetera. This is easy if you use a latex IDE (such as Kile, for instance). Now, for your problem, here is a stab: If I understand you correctly, biblatex gave you problems, whereas bibtex (after a few runs) gave you correct output. You may want to check that your biblatex version and your biblatex style are in sync. The errors you are reporting are rather typical of a mismatch of this kind. You may have older versions of the standard biblatex styles on your system picked up by mistake, or you may be using custom biblatex styles (which usually lag behind biblatex rather frantic development pace).
