Actually it just occurred to me that there was one aspect in which those two banners differed: We cloned Wpapp2014Androidmobile_1 into another banner for test purposes (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralNoticeBanners/edit/Heathertest ), but Wpapp2014Androidmobile_2 wasn't cloned afaik. And the time of the cloning would be consistent with the times of the "empty banner" occurrences. Just a hunch though; normally cloning should of course leave the original banner intact.
