Disc drive sometimes stuck in reset loop

I'm not sure if this is a Swiss issue or possibly a Cubeboot or Picoboot issue. I'm leaning Cubeboot but figured I'd ask here as well.
Occasionally when I start my console (which autoboots to Swiss and then autoloads from disc) I can hear the disc drive click and reset several times in a row, maybe 4-5 and then I am eventually kicked over to the SD card file menu from my Slot 2 cheapo SD Media Launcher SDGecko. Viewing file sources the disc drive isn't listed unless Z is pressed to show all, and then if I select DVD it resets/inits properly.
I am on a slightly older Swiss revision, I think 1458. I have the cubeboot force_fallback option enabled and will be testing some more with it disabled to see if the problem still occurs. Since it's an intermittent thing it's a bit hard to debug on my end...
EDIT: Occurs with force_fallback disabled as well. Could it be a race condition with the new disc autoboot/favoriting and settings loading? Swiss launches in 480i then switches to 480p, so it looks like it's loading settings while initializing/resetting the disc drive. My OSSC resyncs too slowly to see exactly when things occur.
EDIT2: With force_fallback disabled I have been able to trigger a "no such device" message when trying to load from disc after the reset loop/failure.
