A number of people using my mod for Eve-Killboards are getting this problem. One of them has kindly given me access to his board to try and locate the problem (at first, assumed it was some mistake on my part)
The full return from the server is:

From what I've seen it seems to be related to Corporations rather than individuals or keys. It's been present for a few weeks so would assume that it's not certain killmails as I would expect them to have flushed through beyond the first 100 kills (certainly of the first XML page)

Racketeers is affected by this bug.
You may want to check the thread on Eve-Dev and pick out the few others mentioning the problem - if not I'll sort through later. It's only the last few pages and was first reported to me on the 27th March, although I believe they indicated the bug was introduced with the patch a week or two before that.

PS. Also add Righteous-Indignation to the list as one of the guys posted in this thread saying the corp was affected

Another corp to add to list Blueprint Haus. I've got 3 other names reporting the same problem, just need to find the corps they're talking about or in.
Something that may help finding the fault. Two of the corps reported a bugged killmail (CCPs end) before or around the time the bug came. The killmail has no listed Involved parties (I think there was supposed to be an NPC party, but it's not listed in the mail ingame - can't get the XML of course as the bugs preventing it being sent)
Here's a quote of what the guy said:

In real this guy was killed by NPC. I can't delete this killmail from game and mod don't work.
so...theoretically if you flush that mail out by achieving a further 100 kills/losses after it then the API should resume working again until you get another bugged mail.
Presumably, if this bugged mail is indeed the cause, the XML generation errors out as it wants to assign Involved Parties knowing that there should always be at least one, however in this bugs case there isn't with certain NPCs and so doesn't know what to do with itself and gives up.
A fix in this case would be to protect the XML generation for instances where no involved parties are listed (even though there should always be 1+) and to identify which NPCs aren't being listed and why. It would be reasonable to assume that when they are looked up in the database they aren't found for some reason.

One way to test if this realy is the case, get the character who was killed and see if they can do a personal xml dump..... see if you get the same responce.
Directors/Ceo's can check their corp losses ingame to confirm that they do have one of these mails and identify the pilot and ask him for help to see if his personal API sheet comes through. (I can't imagine that many of them wanting to come forward voluntaryily saying "HAI, I GOT SHOTTED BY THE NPC'S!!"  )
Also if any affected corp doesn't have one of these mails in their losses then it disproves the theory anyway.
