I have had that happen in bars.  None of my distributors ever gives me a 
straight answer about why that would happen, assuming that I have stored and 
handled the keg correctly.  I simply return and replace.

one thing I can suggest to you, off the subject is try and find beer gas 
instead of using CO2.
