How do I avoid erroneous save conflict on a work item?

I'm trying to change a Task work item from "In Progress" to "Complete". It never works. No one else is modifying this work item. Most of the other work items seem to work OK.

In the web, I press the refresh icon, then change the state in the drop down box, then press Save. It says:
Save conflict. Failed saving work item 9676 because it did not have the most recent state. Refresh, make additional changes, then save again.
In Eclipse, I press the refresh icon, then change the state in the drop down box, then press Save. It says:
Data changed remotely

The data you were about to save did already change remotely and your changes could not be merged automatically.
