I found the exact issue: Falcon is scanning every file on my machine -- since the volume of changes on the LLVM repository is very large, the high-speed internet, high-speed filesystem, high-speed compilation, and git is are are constantly racing against Falcon's slow scanning, and failing; that's why the problems are random and non-reproducible.
