It's a virtual host on a ESX server farm in our data center.

That's strange, indeed.
I repeated the test with < 0.2 load 100 times:
the run #5, #18, #28, #53, #58 and #71 resulted in FAIL as above,
and the run #24 and #25 PASSed but took 20 seconds,
all other PASSed within <=0.3s.
Have a nice day,
