This may not be the same thing as yours, and I still don't know what causes it, but, I believe I know what you're describing.

There's another failure mode that might have happened to you. I've only had it happen on level ground, so I didn't think about it earlier....
If you travel over a rough surface, (badly deteriorated asphalt is where I experience this), at the right speed so the resulting vibration is at the right frequency, you confuse the sensors. On my Gen2, what it does in this case is to *drastically* cut speed, to almost a crawl. It recovers after proceeding at a snail's pace for a while. This happens to me regularly on a particular street on my way to work. It's in a low-rent area, populated with a tow company and a redaimix concrete company.
