Well, it turns out that one of the axle holes had elongated and was causing a bad mesh internally, but only under a decent load. Since it was a MG servo, I just replaced the servo case and it worked fine thereafter.

Not saying this is exactly the case here, I'm just saying it could be the servo itself for whatever reason. If the servo is jamming and/or stalling, the high current flow could be dragging down the BEC voltage to the point where it is causing odd behavior in the ESC brains.
I'll try to get a hold of a temporary replacement servo just to give it a test. I wonder if I could get away with a standard plastic gear servo from the LHS.

Edit:

I guess I could also try running a receiver battery to see what happens.
