Player Name is sometimes incorrect ("skinStandardCust")

Summary:
Player Name is sometimes incorrect.
Affects currently Live Content:
Yes (Marketplace UI in general)
Impact:
We have noticed players sometimes have the username "skinStandardCust" when the game is unable to pull down their XBL profile.
Repro Steps:
Very difficult to repro. At some point we believe the XBL session becomes invalid, and a network request to refresh fails. Since the player is using a custom skin, this causes the client to use "skinStandardCust" as a player name.
Observed Results:
The wrong GamerTag appears above the paperdoll on the main menu, and the players name is also incorrect when they join a world. This is problematic for Add-Ons that use the players name.
Expected Results:
The player's XBL name should always be valid.
