Why wouldn't the first conclusion be that the example.com service was flipping bits? Load balancing TLS requests to a different front-end pool is very common.

Has anyone claimed to see these flipped bits on a domain other than example.com?

This is a pretty useful piece of debugging here. It might be worthwhile to try to get EdgeCast involved, as it could be a broken thing between AT&T and EdgeCast.

Given that (it seems) only AT&T customers are complaining, and (it seems) it only affects servers on EdgeCast.

I see no errors running the same script from another host that doesn't go through at&t.
