I don't have a reason that might be the case, but in general that code
is overly complex and not well-tested, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Tom is working on finishing up the slave-protocol work from the last
GSoC, which should give us a better way to monitor this sort of thing.

In the interim, if this happens repeatedly and you can track it down
with some prints at strategic places in the source (which appear in
twistd.log), I'd love to get it patched.
