There is another thread that is dealing with the same symptom
as you are experiencing.  Subj: Previous sip reload not yet done

It does appear to be a bug in the asterisk sip registration.

Don't know if SER and a radius solution might work, but the
asterisk registration has been an issue.  We don't dynamically
register in our environment at present, and the system works.
Hell of a work around.
