Well, I have two people using 7960s remotely, both at least 120ms away and
have never seen this issue.  They are using 4.4 currently.

Since I haven't seen the issue with 4.4, I can't guess whether 5.3 fixes it.
What settings are you using in /etc/asterisk/sip.conf for these phones?
For example I have:
[1234]
callerid="Person 1234" <1234>
context=internal
type=friend
secret=pass
host=dynamic
mailbox=1234
qualify=5000
nat=yes
;canreinvite=yes

Have you tested these phones with Pulver Free World Dialup?
(just to confirm the issue is with Asterisk only)
