Unfortunately I don't think that helps. I don't have a stale version of
these files when it happens (or the stale version would have been
outdated) and I only have one backend server.

The "Known limitations on grace- and saint mode" on that page says:

	"If your request fails while it is being fetched you're thrown into
	 vcl_error. vcl_error has access to a rather limited set of data so
	 you can't enable saint mode or grace mode here."
