In Utopic image 140, this seems to be fixed. Rotation does not occur until about 70 or 80 degrees toward the direction the screen will rotate to. Going back the other way, the user must tilt to about 80 degrees again. So, there is no point at which it will go back and forth with only a few degrees of motion. Also, shaking the phone no longer causes the screen to spin around.

On previous images I haven't noticed this. 194 doesn't do it. It's a bit disconcerting for it to rotate so easily.
