Everything looks good in the logs. They are both passing to /index.php and
nothing is stopping in the way.

Just out of curiosity - do you have some sort of query cache running on your
site? Perhaps that is causing the problem.

Also do you have any directories within your root directory that could be
causing a problem (ie. /2006/ or /2005/). Since you sometimes get a standard
404 and other times get a wp-404, it is almost acting like it is finding a
directory and looking inside of there. 

I would start by disabling any caching you might have (query, apc, wp-cache,
etc.) and see if the problem persists. This is about all I can think of at
this point.

It should be noted, however, that simply visiting the Options->Permalink
page still breaks the site.
