The way I've always thought of it (which most likely is wrong though) is this:
Usually that happens if you take down a boss with reserve. If you kill him and a minion at exactly the same time (meaning they disappear at the same frame (or perhaps with one frame delay)), it might happen that minion will not respawn anymore, even though the new boss just appears.
The <soldier> tag probably checks if there's any <boss> character still active, and if no, it stops spawning. And thus, if <boss> and <soldier> are killed at exactly the same frame, the <soldier> probably checks for the <boss> (who disappears in the same frame, while in the next frame the new <boss> appears), and since he cannot find any active <boss>, he stops spawning.
I don't think its related to the same frame thing. I don't know if anyone remembers the survival mode I made before 2.0 was released (Marti stole my idea!!!!), it used a floating bandit as a boss and lots of bandits to keep them constantly spawning. Eventually the bandits stopped spawning even though hunter was alive. I'm not sure what causes this bug.

If "<soldier>" comes before "times: x", the soldier will have x lives; if it comes after, the soldier will have infinite (IMPORTANT DISCOVERY FROM THE FUTURE: 50, not infinite) lives. In either case, the soldier will stop respawning when all bosses are dead.
