When the queue falls under the threshold, all suspended processes are resumed. Since the algorithm doesn't differentiate between processes, this fate can befall the net ticker as well.

I thought my net splits were due to heavy process messaging traffic and the net ticker messages falling behind. 

That didn't quite explain it but what you said does.
