Decommission fails after original bootstrap

When first standing up a cluster, and trying to decommission (what appears to be) any non-seed node, an error occurs. The node being targeted will log "DECOMMISSIONING", but fail with the error below. Restarting seems to fix. See steps and error below:

2-node cluster:
start node0 + start node1 + decom node1 -> error
start node0 + start node1 + decom node0 -> success
start node0 + start node1 + restart node1 + decom node1 -> success

3-node cluster:
start node0 + start node1 + start node2 + decom node2 -> error
start node0 + start node1 + start node2 + decom node1 -> error
start node0 + start node1 + start node2 + decom node0 -> success
start node0 + start node1 + start node2 + restart node2 + decom node2 -> success

Error:
