I had a Word 2007 TOC do this again today so I Googled for Jason tab and
found a solution that seems to have fixed it permanently (except for a
really short word where I can't get the right tab leader to apply -- any
suggestions?). The solution is to select the entire TOC, toggle the
field code, and add the \w switch. Toggle the field code back again,
then update the TOC.
Worked for me!
There's more on this switch here:

And specific stuff on the Jason tab (which I didn't need to use) here:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCJasonTabs.htm (please note: much
of this info is for much earlier versions of Word, so may or may not
work in Word 2007/2010)

Are we talking about this happening in a single document based on a
template, or on all documents based on a template? I've never had this
happen with "all documents" but occasionally the tabs break for me, in
the TOC, in a single document. The workaround I use of adding an
additional, similar-propertied (can I say "propertied"?) tab a short
distance before the offending tab in the Style for that TOC entry within
the document only - not within the template - makes it go away in that
document and it never comes back. (... But it doesn't seem to work if
the distance is too short and the tabs are too close together e.g. .01
cm ... )
