Thanks a ton!
I put some abbreviated test samples on a public server which demonstrate the issue:
I have 4 .ts files (call them frag1-frag4 for the sake of converstaiton), and created 3 different manifests which all use these same files to demonstrate the issue.
The manifest at:

Will play fragments 1-4. This should work, but doesn't. It will work from my iPhone.
The manifest at:
http://www.bradgoodman.com/HLSTest3/appleTest2.m3u8
Will play frament1 three times. (You'll be able to see the counter reset around 10 seconds, when the first fragment repeats - this will happen twice). This test will play correctly on the Roku box.

Is just like appleTest2 (above), but repeats the first fragment four times, as opposed to three. This test will not play at all.
Thanks for all the help!
