What you might do is to either disconnect all these switches from the RBR. Do a full reboot of the RBR. Check it's operation. If it's stable, graduate adding a switch, 1 at a time, and see if the router can add them using this process. You might see about setting an IP address reservation ON the RBR for each.

There's no way I'm going rewire 38 wall-installed switches when i reboot my routher...That cant' be an acceptable possible solution.
I turned off DHCP and looked at a wireshark log. It looks like I'm getting 10-20 DHCP discover requests per second. Is it possible the router is seeing that as an attack an denying them?
Is it also possible the rotuer is not set to be authoratitive so the switches are still trying to get their old IPs back?

incidentally, I upgrade the firmware to 2.7.1.60. No change...
