"I recall that a 737 suffered an upset, similar circumstances, but due to gross fuel imbalance during cross transfer (the aerodynamic / mass disturbance). The AP failed to fly a LNAV turn so the crew disconnected - surprise, big roll, high hand-wheel forces required to recover.
Searching (web and memory) for incident; probably UK AAIB investigation report - 20yrs ago?"

Sounds like this one:
