The only cause I can think of is that one server is broken and rejects your
login while the others don't (that'd explain the intermittent part).
It'd be nice if you could aggressively try to reproduce the bug, logging in and
out over and over again, and log the server name and success/failure for each
attempt. If my theory is correct, all failures will come from the same server
(or a few servers in the worst case), while the successes will be pretty much
evenly distributed over the rest.
For the login request, use format=xmlfm (or another pretty-printed format),
which will get you pretty-printed XML (or JSON or ...) in HTML with a comment
after the closing </html> saying something like
<!-- Served by srv103 in 0.047 secs. -->
where srv103 is the server name. Distinguishing between success and failure is
a little harder when working with HTML gibberish your client doesn't
understand, but I guess searching for the word "Success" (or "WrongPass" or
"Throttled" or ...) should do the trick.
