I think you're correct. I was able to find, through the sync noise,  
the client which triggers the error.
It's an Android device sending a ping via a GET request.

[12/Mar/2014:16:41:18 +0100] "GET  
/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?Cmd=Ping&User=user%40domain.tld&DeviceId=androidc1234&DeviceType=Android HTTP/1.1" 500 738 "-"  
"Android/4.1.2-EAS-1.3"

The same request is then sent a few seconds later using POST.
