TAC's first inclination was bad hardware, so it was RMA'd, however the error showed up again a few days ago.  A reboot cleared it and I haven't seen it since, but it's still alarming that "brand new" hardware would show exactly the same error, of which I have never seen before in my life.

Hello Jason,

Have you replaced only DFC or whole line card including DFC? Have you
tried this card in different chassis or different slots in same chassis?
Have you tried rebooting or reinserting just one line card instead of
rebooting whole chassis? Because we're talking about adjacent slots it
may be possible it's chassis problem just error messages are misleading.

Regards,
