Lyman, I generally disregard your theories since they are normally composed of 2/3 reasonable fact and 1/3 something pulled from behind the refrigerator. My intent in responding is to separate my comments from yours on this occasion.
Judging from where the Autoflight system dropped the aircraft (essentially on altitude, essentially on speed, essentially level) and the fact that the Autoflight system dropped completely out at the cavalry charge, your comment would seem to have no merit. Oscillations generally have a characteristic frequency. What characteristic frequency do you suggest for this phenomena?
