Are you able to give someone (hopefully technical) remote access to the server?

Random guesses:

1. It's an issue with PHP+APC - I've seen it output blank pages before with no error being logged (especially PHP 5.4.x) .. restarting Apache will fix the problem; normally something will be logged though. Upgrading PHP/APC may help - or switching to use e.g. XCache.

2. Your error reporting settings are somehow unhelpful, or moodle/something is changing the error reporting settings so nothing useful is being logged.

3. Moodle could perhaps be using/bundling their own version of the Zend Framework - and if they're explicitly loading Zend_Locale (or whatever) as well as how XOT is then there could be a clash - one option may be to wrap some of the require calls for Zend_* in if(!class_exists('Zend_Locale')) { require_once ('Zend/Locale.php'); } etc.
