That doesn't really surprise me.  The low voltage can affect writes to
non-volatile (flash?) memory inside the camera.  It's possible that
some values were stored incorrectly when voltage was low, and the
camera had to "work its way through it" to figure out the correct
values.  Sort of like on some cars, when you disconnect the battery,
they lose their memory of the fine tuning of the engine control (fuel,
timing, etc.) and the car runs rough for the first few minutes after
the battery is reconnected and the car started.
