To the best of my knowledge ssh keys don't ever expire -- certainly not in
the timeframe you're talking about.  So the thin client had a cached ssh
key which differed from the server's actual key.  I would guess this could
only happen if the ip address of the server changed or possibly if the name
of the server changed.

I can't think of any other explanation.  It's good that it's fixed anyway.
