It sounds like the rate you send messages DOES affect the problem, but I don't think it's the only issue.
More frequent messages means more datastreams to get interrupted by noise. I'm still leaning towards noise, we had the symptoms reappear today with some added CAN wiring on the system getting twisted up with the motor wiring. Shaking up the wires and pulling them apart seemed to resolve the problem.
