Remember reading about that, and on the server I happen to be looking at, it's been set that way since 18 May. Any other ideas?

The first thing I can think of is you forgot to restart the service after making the configuration change, but then you mentioned restarting the service makes the issue disappear, so that's not it :) .

Perhaps you are seeing machines that only make a single attempt between log rotations? Or perhaps your machines get so many connects that you've hit a resource limit in fail2ban? Just guessing, I haven't had any issues since changing the backend to gamin.
