Fetching with LWP:
http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/modules/03modlist.data.gz
LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't connect to cpan.strawberryperl
+.com:80]
So then I discovered I could configure cpan to fall back to wget, and it resolves (presumably the same way as LWP) to the same address, and the fetch immediately works every time: Running install for module 'Test::Number::Delta'

What appears to be happening, is that LWP is reporting the 302 Found redirection to cpan.pair.com as a 500 message?
Anyway, configuring cpan to use wget means it eventually gets everything required; and popping two of three cpan.pair.com entries from the (default) urllist reduces the noise somewhat.
If anyone has any further suggestions, I'm all ears.
