John,
Is there any chance that the modifications to the database tables are not being committed in some instances? It could happen in IB_SQL if you forget to hit the Commit button, or if a database error is not handled - in which case, any updates to the FTS tables would be part of the same unresolved transaction(s).

Can you get any clues from the monitor about what is happening client-side when these problems occur?
