I am trying to use BPC over a WAN, and the connection I'm using seems
to be unstable.  The backup is dying every few hours and giving a
"Child exited prematurely" message.  I can see a definite pattern in
my bandwidth usage going up and down.

In a situation where the connection drops like this, does BPC/rsync
pickup where it left off, or does it try to start the whole thing over
again?  If I point the backup at an LVM snapshot instead of the real
files, will that allow it to pickup where it left off more easily?
