I can confirm that this has been logged with the good people at Softimage since I think v.3.0 or 3.5
I come across this from time to time, but have no definitive repro steps. It just seems random. I've seen it on the simplest chains 2 bones and a sphere, as well as on complex models...
Lets hope they nail this issue once and for all!
