The latter should be the case if an interface that was down is activated
again (i.e. if you see "interface ... activated" in the log) or if an
address (re-)appears on the interface (i.e. if you see "... appeared on
...").  However, what's not reinstalled are the virtual IPs.  So perhaps
the problem is that the VIP disappears in some cases but not others.  To
avoid that you could set charon.install_virtual_ip_on to e.g. lo.

Tobias
