It appears to happen when there is a slight pause in the senders signal and it almost sounds like some other station, a few Hz away has jumped into the party but that is not the case -- only a single station sending.

I have lost that message and I would like to know if this problem was specifically addressed by a firmware update.  I am up to date on firmware with the exception of the latest beta that I have now installed yet.  However, I still have this problem (it seems to happen with stronger signals, maybe S8 or better, and it seems to only happen in the pause between words for example and never to my knowledge in a string of characters of a word).
