Could it be that there is a mistake in the captchas? The picture and text not being the same so when someone types in the captcha it tells them they got it wrong. Trying again and again would give you a different captcha each time until you eventually get one that is correct, and you can then log on. I don't know if different languages have different captchas, but if they do, that would explain why it appears to be a german problem only.
Don't rule it out, but I would consider such a problem less likely...the captcha extension we're using has been around since about 1.6.0, and it's been in use on thousands of third-party sites since then. I'd be inclined to suggest we'd have heard about this sort of problem before, if it existed...
...then again, at this stage, I can't think of anything that would actually be causing the error, so your guess is as good as mine.
