I have this problem. It has happened to phals, a couple of neofinetia, one or two miniatures and a couple of other species. It is not a pest issue that I can see.
This is what happens. Leaves, usually the oldest leaves on the plant, begin turning yellow and eventually fall off. It happens one leaf at a time. In a couple of plants, the leaves have all fallen off, one at a time. Humidity and temperature are not any higher than usual, and I actually cut back on the amount of time I leave my lights on because I think maybe my plants are getting too much light. Some were looking very pale, but now they are greening back up again. I don't think it is crown rot, because the plants actually stay alive. Some just lose one or two leaves, and in a couple of cases I lost the whole plant but the roots were still healthy. Very odd indeed.
Any ideas?
