Unless, of course, it's union action that's causing the problem? Is there
some dispute with the maintenance staff? Or are the drivers working to
rule about not taking out trains with even tiny, irrelevant defects?

Possibly, but you know how the RMT loves to boast about ever bit of industrial
action it takes and we've not heard anything about that. I suppose it could
be an unofficial work to rule with drivers just taking sickies. Wouldn't be
the first time.
