If your cluster has RF>2, you are bootstrapping two nodes into the same
range simultaneously. That is not supported. [1,2] The node you are having
the problem with is in the range that is probably overlapping.

If I were you I would :

1) stop all "Joining" nodes and wipe their state including system keyspace
2) optionally "removetoken" any nodes which remain in cluster gossip state
after stopping
3) re-start/bootstrap them one at a time, waiting for each to complete
bootstrapping before starting the next  one
4) (unrelated) Upgrade from 1.1.6 to the head of 1.1.x ASAP.
