If the sources are available for the WPIJavaCV library I would be willing to dive into that to try and debug what is happening. It appears that none of the code is available at FirstForge, which really surprises me (or at least it's not allowing my user account there any access).

If I leave the dashboard up for a long time (several minutes), it eventually seems to grab a connection to the camera and displays fine from that point on.

Perhaps some issue with a timeout not being set generously enough? Our camera's frame rate can sometimes hiccup when being viewed from a browser, but I don't see why that would cause connection issues.
