Yes, that sounds very familiar!
Also, for those who think the problem may be completely unrelated to the 8.2v bug, remember that when you corrupt a section of memory on a running computer program, the results are (almost) completely unpredictable. A section of memory that is receiving data from the OI may be being corrupted, thereby locking in the last data frame instead of shutting down due to lost radio link.
I wonder if this may be a problem peculiar to your RC, only time will tell.
