Good call, Al. Shorting the Gyro's ground to the frame could easily create this problem.
There is a small gap between the mounting holes and the ground plane, but it could easily be bridged by e.g. using a metal standoff/nut that is too big or too tight. Or, it could be bridged by mounting it too close to the frame, and having one of the soldered leads hitting the frame.
