The logs seem to show the message arrive, confirm 1207 messages to send, 
spawn a second bulk process to handle the load, all messages are sent after 
10 seconds and after idle timeout the bulk dies.

Everything appears to be normal from these logs.  What makes you think only 
800 were sent?

Can you check your sendmail/postfix logs (whichever you use) and see if 
anything is going on there?  Possibly you have some rate limiting, or thread 
limiting, and some messages are being held up or rejected?

I don't think that a synch_include during a message delivery could cause 
users to disappear, unless for some reason the LDAP query returned less than 
the total number of people and removed some, but errors in the LDAP cause no 
synch to occur.  The two logs both say only 1 user was updated though.
