That's "host unique" tag. Yeah, I've seen that from time to time, but I 
think it never stoped the connection from being established.

My theory was that I got two session offers for the same request, since the
first session was established too late or something.

If this is a repeatable failure mode for you, I would like to see tcpdumps
on the ethernet interface used, with something like tcpdump -e -x -s 200.
