I'd be very suspicious of a metastability problem if the results are even 
somewhat reproducible.

Most of the quirks that get blamed on metastability are just simple 
setup/hold errors such that an input to a state machine has different values 
at different FFs.  The two obvious causes are a longer delay on one path 
(more logic, longer routing) or slightly different setup times on the FFs so 
a signal gets to both at the same time and meets setup one one but doesn't 
the other one.
