My guess, from a couple of things that happened with the process, is that the system does not respond well to people aggressively trying to get this done. E.g., trying to schedule an interview immediately after getting the notification, and having the interview the day after conditional approval is granted, causes problems.
My advice is to have a little more patience than I had, and it probably goes easier.

I received conditional approval on 9/19 and on 9/20 scheduled by interview at JFK T4 for 9/21. The whole interview took 10 minutes (probably would have been shorter, but the retrace of the computer screen, as note by the agent, was slow.)
