well -- in the logs you Lee sent to me I don't see 'Invariant check failed', also I don't see anything suspicious -- everything is found and banned and unbanned appropriately -- that is why iptables is clean at the end since everything was unbanned already.
The only question is -- your jail.conf sets bantime to be some high number, while fail2ban.log says that bantime is taken to be 600 (10 min) and those 10min are in effect according to the logs. I modified on my box -- and bantime was set appropriately, so I guess either it gets overriden in jail.local (which you btw should have used instead of direct modification of jail.conf), or this config is newer from when you sent fail2ban.log.
