You aren't using a Microham CW keyer by any chance? I experienced 
exactly the same problems you describe above (and a few others besides 
:) ) with my CW keyer with both SD and N1MM. I never did cure it as it 
was all quite random, I'd think I had it cured only to have it croak on 
me in the middle of a pileup, quite maddening really! I replaced it with 
a USB Winkey and have had no problems since or previously I might add 
with a MK1 Microkeyer.
