I have not seen this myself, but here is my idea:

I am wondering if you do any scanning? If so, could it be that, when scanning
a large attachment, the scanner does not respond soon enough, and you have it
configured to go ahead with a delivery anyway, if the scanner times out?
Then, the scanning completes (oh, say 25 seconds later), and the scanner's
normal procedure is to reinject the email with the scan results header added?

I am just brainstorming. I could be so terribly wrong. Just trying to
imagine a scenario that could explain the symptoms reported. Hope it's
helpful.
