the instability was due to partial engine relight

  It looked to me like there was some major oscillations shortly before the engines relit though.

    Yea. If I had to make an uneducated guess I'm thinking one of two things. 1. Starship is leaky. Outgassing and/or leaky valves made attitude control difficult and used up ullage gasses quickly. 2. Thrust control/RCS has programming or physical issues. Saw a lot of ice breaking off places near deorbit, so if you had ice building up and redirecting gas the ship wouldn't perform as the computer expects.
