iPhone Not receiving all iMessages on phone after 8.4 update

I updated to iOS 8.4 from 8.3 on Tuesday. My iPhone 5s isn't getting all of my iMessages -- I'm still getting them through Messages on my Macbook Pro.

I turned off text forwarding to my Macbook to see if that helps (although now I'm worried I might not get some of them at all).

I tried turning iMessage on and off on the iPhone, I logged out of iMessage and logged back in... no luck. And my phone number is checked as one of the accounts receiving them, and I do get some of them... just not all.

Any ideas?

ETA: No issues with regular SMS messages to other non-Apple devices.

What about removing all entries except your mobile phone number from the send and receive list?

It's the only one I have enabled, on the iPhone and in Messages on the Mac (before I shut off the forwarding to it, anyway).

I don't have a Mac, but I'm wondering if receiving iMessages on the Mac have something to do with your issue.

I've had the forwarding setup for several months (since I got this new MacBook in October) without an issue. I updated to 8.4 on Tuesday, and the first occurrence of a missed message on my phone was 8am Wednesday morning. So I think it has to be 8.4 related.

As I said, it only occurs with iMessages (not regular "green" SMS), but not all iMessages, and not even all iMessages from a person... some go through, some don't.

I also verified that it has nothing to do with reading the message on the mac before it appears on the iPhone -- some of them have appeared when I turned on my Mac hours after the message was sent and should have appeared on the phone (which was on and receiving other iMessages in the mean time).
