The suggestion from Oracle Support (which packages Apache for our application) was to increase the KeepAliveTimeout in httpd.conf to a value above the default for Internet Explorer (60 seconds). I tried 75 seconds, and so far, have not encountered the issue again (by contrast, if I dropped it to 15 seconds, the problem did re-occur.)
So I don't know if this is the answer, but it seems to have worked for the time being ..
