A-109E Auto Pilot

A few years back I received a SPIFR qualification in the A-109E. At the time, the specific autopilot installed by Agusta had a limitation on the use of the take off/go around mode. Specifically, a placard limited the use to airspeeds greater than 120 KIAS. Attempted use at 70KIAS resulted in some very extreme attitude excursions. Has anyone one else experienced this?
