hmm... If I had to guess, which I do, "something bad happened" to the MMC.
The kindle was treading water while it figured out what the hell to do.
What you describe was actually a persistent problem in a lot of kindle 3 models, and in fact I returned a few that had that problem.
My advice would be to keep an eye on it, if it happens again I would look to return it. Maybe it was just a one-time screw up, or - as you say - it could mean something badderer lurks on the horizon.
I would chalk it up to experience until it happened again.
