I have looked at the configuration differences on this system and notice that the common name in /etc/xcat/cert/server-cert.pem is now the name of the cluster facing interface whereas before the common name was the external interface. I am guessing that this common name difference might have been causing issues in authenticating the connection security in the security check prior to sending credentials to the newly installed host. We will look at this a little closer. We tend to use the external facing interface name as the hostname for our systems in order to reduce user confusion (the hostname thus matches the name they use to ssh to the system). With our previous xCAT installs I probably had the hostname set to the internal interface during the initial xCAT setup, but later changed the hostname to match the external interface.

Setting ipsrc in the loop seems to address the problem immediately.. I had three failures in a row and they all seemed to resolve themselves with the work around. We're about to take delivery of a new expansion (480 dx360m4's), I'll get an idea if this is a reasonable "permanent" fix.
