I figured it out when it happened again and confirmed the issue when it happened subsequent times.
Basically what happend was this... I cycled the power on the phone after the car/phone were paired. The phone cycled faster than the car dropped the original pair, then the phone searched and found the old pair and connected to it... The car then dropped the original pair and then tried to re-pair with the phone that now was like, 'WTF happened to the other guy?"
This caused a glitch in the actual pair that persisted... The only way to cycle the JBL is to turn off the ignition and get back to the "Welcome to Camry" startup screen, turning of the radio button doees not "re-boot" the JBL... Wanna know why?
Try this sometime... Get into your car, start it and then turn the JBL off. Now turn off the car and restart it with the radio off... Now call your phone number.
With the radio off, it will turn itself on and ring through the car speaker!!!
I was dumbfounded when I found this out as I always thought that turning the radio off would be an exit strategy toward not taking a call with someone in the car who I didn't want to be involved in the call. I realize the "hang-up" button works as Send All Calls, but I was trying to avoid the passenger even seeing the caller-ID display.
While on the JBL topic - I noted another oddity that may be helpful to some. There are actually 2 volume controls maybe a 3rd with SAT (I'm not sure never used SAT). One controls the radio and CD volume, the other controls the AUX volume. I found a few instances where I turned the radio volume to 0 and then listened to the AUX input for a few days... When I went back to the radio, it appeared something was broken because cycling through the MODE button the AUX would have sound but nothing else did. This happened a few times to me and I was WTFing it, then suddenly it started working, not realizing I had adjusted the volume up on only the radio and CD inputs.

I've gone through a very similar discovery process with the system. My biggest beef with the BT is that I can not take a call waiting call using my phones option for 'answer call and disconnect current conversation" because it confuses the JBL BT by trying to cancel a connection. I can take one call and leave the other on hold, then drop the first as soon as the second fully connects.
