"that they didn't fix it in QA and can't reproduce and fix it a year later?" .... unfortunately... the answer is yes....
I have had similiar issues on my LAN's in the past. Mostly with Printers that I do not use frequently and when I went to print on them they were not responsive. So what I have done is, and this may apply to your case as well, is that on my home automation server I set it up to run a "Scene" every hour that pings the printers IP address. The ping is a "Keep Alive" in it's own way.
I have also setup similar pings in Visual Basic. Create a "batch" file, it's not hard to do, then let task scheduler or cron ping the device on ocassion.
It may even be possible to run a bash script in the router itself to ping the XBOX....
For something so simple, it can be created in C++ as well....
