CAN Talon not working after disabling robot and re-enabling

We decided to switch from PWM Talon to CAN Talon SRX to try and take advantage of the integrated closed loop capabilities

Out first test was to use the CAN Talon's straight out of robot builder as part of a dual motor controller drive train.

All the code works correctly except that when we disable the robot then re-enable in tele-op, the motors don't move (and the LEDs on the CAN Talon's) don't change colors red/green - they just blink yellow)

Restarting robot code solves the problem. We switch back to PWM talons and all works correctly. We are suspecting something happens to the motor controllers when we disable. The CAN Talon SRX manual makes note of needing to service the controllers during disable_periodic. Curious if anyone else has this issue.
