Hi Matt,
To have found this connection is certainly a skill. Yes, the problem is often in the many combinations possible with the huge amount of options. When one considers way over thousand tools, functions and options, some with vast numbers of parameters, it becomes clear that the result of such combinations is at least in the millions. To find such a connection… congratualtions.
I will explore what happens more in detail before I file a report, to get it down to the lowest amount of parts needed to reproduce it, which will accelerate the process.
The Render Queue might be the fastest way to get all the Takes render out with perhaps a minute more work. Have a look here, it is a one minute clip:

With the render Queue working, my hope is that it is a minor problem and easy/fast to fix. As the Queue is pretty much what this command “Render Marked Takes” does.
Have a great weekend, and sorry about the extra work.
