Comment:

 Just to clarify, when using `new WP_Query(…)` normally, `'orderby' =>
 'rand'` works perfectly, but when hooking into `pre_get_posts` it doesn't.
 Correct?

 Are you sure your filter is run correctly? What happens when you remove
 the `if ( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_tax( 'landing-page-
 highlight', 'special-offer' ) ) {` condition?
