That sounds like a long standing bug relating to selecting text or swiping. I could trigger something that sounds like that by selecting from right-to-left. Or a slower right-to-left swipe. The device would hang but, putting it to sleep and waking it, using either the cover or power button, would get it working. I think it might have happened when the speed I moved my finger was on the border between what was considered a swipe, and what was needed for selection. This has happened on all of my devices.
The problem has been getting better with the recent firmware, and I can't think of the last time I triggered it. That might be because I have trained myself not to do it, but, I also think the recent changes in the firmware have improved it. It won't surprise me to much if it still happens, but is just harder to trigger.
