Turns out whenever a normal prepass was active (which includes whenever you use SSAO) we were attempting to read the normals from the prepass for the specular transmissive material. Since transmissive materials don't participate in the prepass (unlike opaque materials) we were reading the normals from “behind” the mesh, producing really weird visual results.
