Some more data, after discussing with slangasek.
The attached script will run seemingly forever (100 times run) as it is, however if we remove the flag:
  -o=Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth=0
to apt, then it will generally fail < 10 times.
(data collected on m1.large "right now", with mirrors set to http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/).

It would seem to me that the Pipeline-Depth is the source of the issue. See [1] for apt.conf description, and [2] for a quick google of 's3' 'http' 'pipeline' that gives some evidence that Pipeline and S3 aren't friends.
