Entity Framework SSDL ManifestProviderToken Error

[i sphere]

This problem is maddening and I've spent the last month trying to figure the cause without any progress.

I used EDMGEN2 to generate an EDMX file. Everything runs great except after an indeterminate amount of time any calls to the entity framework stop working with an error that the "Schema specified is not valid"

MySQL Version 5.1.38
Also tried on 5.1.36 with same result

Connector.NET version 6.0.4.0
Also tried on 6.1.1.0 with same result

EDMX Configuration as follows:
<Schema Namespace="v2Model.Store" Alias="Self" Provider="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" ProviderManifestToken="5.1" xmlns:store="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/12/edm/EntityStoreSchemaGenerator"; xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2006/04/edm/ssdl">;
<EntityContainer Name="v2ModelStoreContainer">

I've tried changing the ProviderManifestToken to "MySQL" or "6" or "5" or "5.1" without any success. The application will run for a while then the same error always occurs (except that error will say "The ProviderManifestToken '5' is different from '[whatever i specified in the above xml config]')

The error keeps getting thrown until I re-upload my EDMX file (?!?!)

Does anyone have ANY suggestions at all?
