Thinking about it more, the theoretical  “overcorrection” should be 
proportional to the stability margin.

The only explanation I can think of is wind shear ie. the top of the rocket 
hits it 1st which tips the pointy end downwind, then the fins hit it, which 
obviously corrects things; although you’d probably expect an overcorrection?
