well after uninstalling and erasing the shrapnel games directory, reinstalling and repatching - i ran my turn yesterday and i'm happy to say that today, both my partners got the Messages i sent to them.

So we've at least established it was something with my install that became corrupt somehow. Or so it seems unless i just got "lucky" this turn. But given the below research i'd say i probably fixed it by reinstalling.
