I encountered such an issue some time ago in incremental mode, when another person did some cvs branch stuff. The error persisted even as I did a clean checkout, but disappeared, after I deleted all the cvsps cache files. I failed to report the error, because I had not much time for debugging at that time and I would not have been able to publish the repository. That's when I switched to fromcvs, which seems to work reliably so far (and much faster), but requires a local repository.
