That's odd.
Does it happen only when uploading or just by visitn a page on the File
namespace?
Try disabling all extensions and checking if the problem is still there.

Also, you seem to be using Varnish cache and is mediawiki is detecting
the ip as in the 172.16.0.0/12 range. You should add its ips at
$wgSquidServersNoPurge /$wgSquidServers. There were changes today to
mediawiki which should allow it to play better with Varnish. Expect them
at next release.
