generic caps, and 3 different part numbers (and from 2 manufacturers) - 
so unique to the caps but I don't think it is a part / date code issue.

I can try rotating it next run, that is true. With the EMI shield on it 
most of the heat will be coming up thru the PCB anyway so I don't think 
that.

Locations are scattered around the board - most but not all are next to 
the EMI shield, but it is pretty tight under there - the EMI shield is 
only 12x18mm.

This is a lead-free build, no nitrogen, and there is an EMI shield installed on top prior to reflow (solid shield, no openings).  Thermal layout looks OK, no glaring copper imbalances. The boards were inspected prior to placing the EMI shield, placement accuracy was good, paste accuracy was good.  Some of the parts are adjacent the EMI shield side wall, but not all.
