Just out of curiosity, have you checked your CV joint bolts? Or, have you jacked the car up and wiggled the tire? Have you turned the RH rear by hand to make sure you don't have a sticking caliper or e-brake mechanism?

I haven't done any of that, but I will. I know one of the calipers does stick from time to time, and I have the parts to rebuild it (it's on my list for this summer), but would that actually grip the brake disc enough to actually lock the tire up momentarily, and only during a downshift?
Though now that you mention it, I wonder if it was only happening in turns. I'm going to take it for a spin today and test that.
