"Since they only use a a 20k resistor as the filter, I would try some inductance as close to the controller as possible, an easy way, if you have extra lead, would be with Radio Shack 273-104 or if you don't mind soldering (or just wire nuts to try it) 273-102 in series with the tach lead."
I had suggested this awhile back, but after reading that the magnetic pickup was flaky also, I was not so sure the tach signal was the culprit.
Andre's suggestion of a tach signal prescaler (divde by 4) was interesting and two flip flops in series would be a cheap experiment.
The DC signals to the vacuum actuator need to be measured during the failure mode to see if indeed the control unit is actually telling the vacuum actuator to disengage.
