    Had a very similar problem, but partly the issue turned out to be one of our own scripts.

    The script re-assigned shaders to some Material assets; it appears that re-assigning the shader on a Material wipes out its custom render queue value (back to -1). Not sure if that's intended, but adding some code to simply store the old custom value before re-assigning, then setting it back, solved the issue for our case.

    Something like:

    int oldQueue = material.renderQueue;
    material.shader = newShader;
    material.renderQueue = oldQueue;
