Well... the problem still persists.

I did a complete re-format/install of Maverick, with Btrfs this time.  I
deleted all local content for L4D2 (as well as all the stuff in my steam root
except steam.exe) and completely re-downloaded it all.  But, I still get the
same authentication issue randomly.

The same machine, booting from the Windows partition, has no problem at all. 
I'm still amazed that there aren't many others complaining of this same issue. 
Weird.

On a hunch, I tried increasing the tcp buffer size to see if it made any
difference... but it did not (went all the way up to 256K).
