I already encountered the same problem, and am starting to think that in 
a recent PHP version the behaviour of require_once() changed, so that it 
only works properly if not only the second, third, etc. requires are 
done with require_once() but ALSO THE FIRST!

So in "entry scripts" like showpic.php, index_ts.php, typo3/init.php all 
require() calls should be changed to require_once() calls for TYPO3 3.8.0.

I have just reported that issues to http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=958

This is a rather old problem. I sent you (and the security ML) a mail 
when I first experienced that random-page problem on typo3.org and 
ter.typo3.com, so you can check your mailbox for the exact date of the 
fist occurance (I'm sorry I lost all my mails of that time frame so I 
can't look the date up myself).

Are you sure the random page bug is related to 3.8.0 and does not occur 
in 3.7.0? When did you upgrade typo3.org from 3.7.0 to 3.8.0-dev?

cheers,
Ingmar
