I have similar symptoms. It seems to be caused by the fact I'm
powering the target via the JTAG interface, and msp430-gdbproxy
isn't waiting long enough for the 32KHz oscillator to startup.
It only waits 250ms before it gives up on the target and shuts
off the power (the 32KHz oscillator takes about 700ms to
start).
Once it works, it keeps working because msp430-gdbproxy doesn't
shut off the power when it exits. So the next time it runs,
the power has been on for >700ms and everything is fine.
Once msp430-gdbproxy gets unhappy, it shuts off the power.
Thereafter it won't leave the power on long enough for the
target oscillator to start. If I power the target externally
for a second before starting msp430-gdbproxy, then it works.

Are you powering the target from the JTAG interface?
