At least on a surface level, your report has some similarities to

I have not seen any similar errors

I'm not running multicast.

As they're all pretty simple to test, it may be worthwhile to give
them a shot just to rule things out.

unfortunantly the load is not high enough right now to see a real difference (it's only doing ~1400 logs/sec) I'll catch it at a higher load point to see if these make any difference.
