<i>...they obviously didn't change the load in the trunk or backseat enroute and didn't go far enough to burn up a significant weight of gasoline to make the system want to adjust.</i>

And normal road irregularities are far shorter than the 6 second delay that is supposed to be built into the system. Only way they could compress the suspension that long would be if they were doing hole shots, and from the road tests done at the time, the rear suspension geometry sharply reduces squat and dive compared to conventional cars of the era.

Only things that come to mind would be the suspension binding somewhere so that it doesn't want to come back to level and keeps overshooting, the delay timer being on the fritz so the TL wants to correct for every bump, or the switches in the TL being somehow out of adjustment so the system's tolerance for body alignment is much smaller than what it was designed to be.
