Sure. This is as far as I have got in the troubleshooting. For some reason, ALL of the load.php HTML style tags always have an asterisk at the end of the URL, as here:

For the load.php URL that loads Mediawiki:Vector.css, this was a problem. It seems that with debug=false, the URL (with the asterisk) provided null output. With debug=true, it provided the expected debug indented output. With the asterisk manually removed from the URL, it worked both times.

The effect this has was intermittent. On some page loads, the CSS would load, on others it wouldn't. I initially thought it was a timeout or 403 but enabling debug solved the problem and it all works all the time.

Again - I'm not 100% sure as to the cause, or if this applies to anyone else, but that's just the quick dirty fix that made it work for me.
