Also, have you verified that the holes are actually shut? Just
because that is in the tolerance, doesn't mean it has happened.
Regarding the opens which occur after being shipped clean from the
supplier, there are things that can happen to cause this. Two items
are: very thin plating in the via holes, or something attacked the
normal plating subsequent to the plating operation. These should be
addressed with the supplier.

before we go too far down the road with the "plated shut via",
i have a question that would help me distinguish the
problem/condition:
is the via plated shut, or is it a matter of some of the via locations
not being solder cleared completely through the HASL process?
i am infinately familiar with the latter, but am somewhat surprised
that the former would be requested by a PWB manufacturer...
the latter condition doesn't represent a reliability problem based
on my knowledge (yes, i am open to being educated! (-;), whereas
i can understand each of the concerns raised with respect to a
"plated shut" via.
