I had broadvoice for approximately 2 weeks.  A few flawless days of
service (and great interoperability with asterisk-current) they
changed the settings on their servers which caused registration to
fail spectacularly.  Asterisk logged a few thousand errors in one
afternoon.  I don't think asterisk was waiting too long to try
re-registering.  Perhaps this is what they are seeing?

After broadvoice added the _sip._udp.sip.broadvoice.com SRV entry
asterisk quieted down a bit.  Perhaps you could try to turn off your
SRV processing in asterisk and see if that excites the bug.
