The error was related to cURL. <br>
<br>
My service accepts user input via a HTML form. Users that provide a
blog URL of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mysite.com">http://mysite.com</a>
when the blog's true URL is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mysite.com">http://www.mysite.com</a>
were getting the error. cURL doesn't resolve
properly.<br>
<br>
I know that cURL has an option for redirection and that was the initial
fix. However, because redirection waits for a timeout before trying
"the next URL", there was puts a major drag on loadtimes. I am doing
the check manually. If wp.getOptions() doesn't throw an error and its
values are null, that's a signal that something went wrong. At that
point, I use PHP to add the "www" to the user's URI and re-run
wp.getOptions(). It's works.<br>
<br>
A look at the server shows that the cURL function throws a -1 error so
that's probably another way to troubleshoot.<br>

Hi Dan - first thing I would look into, which you didn't mention one way or the other, is whether the installed plugins are different on the affected and unaffected servers.
Whenever I see unexpected results from the API, I usually suspect plugin interference as a first line of inquiry.
