I thought I would follow up on this as a couple individuals expressed an interest in it... We have isolated the configuration in which this occurs under. It occurs during the execution of pxeboot.bs on brocade switches with vlan tagging enabled. We have begun to review the pxeboot.bs source code in order to get more debug information out of it and have opened a support case with Brocade.
