Would that be the best time to disconnect the AP and turn the aircraft yourself?
I would argue that that would be the best time to press Hdg Hold. As lots of people seem to lose the plot when the autpilot is unexpectedly disconnected, the safest option would seem to be to reduce the level of automation to the most basic. If that doesn't work, then disconnect. Understanding the automation options that are available to you when things are not going to plan is just as important as being able to fly the thing. Possibly more so these days.
