This actually happened to me also today.
Was using the "swipe" to turn pages it started quickly turn pages until you press home button to stop it. Touch screen becomes unresponsive for a minute or two, then if leave it alone it starts working again. During this time, hardware buttons work fine and are very responsive.
This does seem to be related to a "feature" of the T1 in normal behavior, if you swipe and hold, its meant to turn pages quickly like if you hold and press the page turn buttons.
Not sure if it's a hardware issue, to me this seems more like a bug in the firmware is what my instinct is telling me, but I think you're right to contact Sony and see what they say, I'll do the same tomorrow.
