Are you using the "tiled" versions of the OSM maps?  Ah, I see you're running v1.9.9...  Upgrade to 2.0.0 or 2.0.1 soon, as the OSM code was going through bug-fixes during the 1.9.9 timeframe.  It's hard to know whether you have the fixes or not.

Also make sure you're not zoomed out too far.  With some of the tiled OSM maps they disappear on me sometimes when I zoom out too far or pan at some zoom levels.  When I zoom in they show up again.  The one that works the best for me so far is the OSM_tiled_mapnik.geo map.
