By chance, are there any special or non-English characters in the machine/domain name?

I had an odd issue that sounds kinda familiar. Somehow our default cluster got hosed. I had to open up each service, drop down the ddl for the clusters and select Default. It was already selected, but for whatever reason, it needed to be selected again. But, it sounds like you have having issues even publishing. You might try re-creating the default cluster.
