Themes using the_date seems to sporadically not return any date at all, where as a simple print of get_the_date returns the date as expected for all posts.

<?php the_date();?> has always worked just fine for me.
Yes, I am uncertain why it isn't working at this time, I believe it would be using the same calls as get_the_date() but with a print function on the end instead of a return.
Have you tried deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
