Minor correction: Reproducability rates lie somewhere around 85%. Repeated attempts to join this game eventually succeed.

The desync is caused by trains choosing different platforms at the dropoff station. It is not specific to a certain train or date, but seems to depend on join date. The time until desync varies from few days to few months.

Enabling the yapf cache debugging triggers shortly after loading the game in singleplayer (actually not at the dropoff station). However the stuff in dbg_helper is totally broken :/

Just a short remark on the savegame: the big drop station is not one station, but 6 separate ones interwoven as much as possible where tracks alternate every station track of it.

EDIT and disabling the yapf cache on both, server and client seems to let me connect without desync (frosch's patch https://devs.openttd.org/~frosch/diffs/disableyapfcache.diff )
EDIT2: Note also the trains' orders: the main drop station is not part of the orders.
