Daniel,

Thanks for the reply.

Nothing of use in chef-server-ctl tail. The request never reached the 
Chef server from what I can tell.

I did, however, solve this instance of this ugliness. I learned (perhaps 
now that it is documented?) of the no_proxy client.rb setting and 
configured things to make use of that the first time around and forever 
afterwards via the chef-client cookbook we were already using.

It still does not explain how everything has been working fine for 5 
months without the use of no_proxy. I don't see myself digging into that 
further though due to lack of time.
