Wild shot in the dark but...  This can happen if your TINI is hooked
up to a HUB which is, in turn, uplinked to a switch.  The hub copies
the broadcast to all of it's ports as well as to the switch uplink.
The switch then sees the broadcast and sends it to all the appropriate
ports, per the broadcast address, including the port that goes BACK to
your hub.  I know -- I have this same setup at work (a hub in my cubicle
hooked to the main switch/route in the comms closet) and I'm seeing my
TINI's UDP broadcasts twice on the PC's on my hub.  But that happens to
all of its broadcasts; it's not acting intermittently.
