Dan,
I've only seen this in a mechanically defective meter. You could disconnect
it and play around with it on the bench to find out.

The meter pinning is a normal characteristic of stock R-390x's when
switching from the SLOW to either of the other speeds.
Theoretically my guess it the AGC-diode mod would behave the same way, but
in reality the diode junctions may be breaking down to the large negative
pulse generated when the AGC speed is switched.
Might be a good idea to hook up a scope and take a look.
