The "learned behaviour" in the ecu is stored in volatile memory so every time you cut the battery it dumps whatever it's stored and your problem goes away. Reconnect the battery and the ecu goes through its learning curve over X number of runs. While that's going on your car runs fine, then it doesn't. Theres a direct link between your problem and that volatile memory.
Part of that learned behavior is ignition timing, advance, injector manage, afr etc. it's all tied together and it's all suspect. Hence the question about your injectors.
Vacuum leaks aren't binary so they are not necessarily either on or off. Some are a bit more clever and may only appear at certain ambient or engine temperatures as things expand and contract or can even be activated by harmonics. Unlikely but possible.
It's worth seeing if there's a relationship between vacuum and your misfire since you've eliminated just about every other cause besides ghosts. That's next :)
