Nice theory, but it's being/has gotten fixed for AU1.
The reason it doesn't hold up is because it doesn't happen all the time and when it happens mid-air the body continues it's normal movements when it falls.
You can just say that it was a new feature incorperated in all UNSC armour and that Elites have been incorperating the feature in their underarmour since they allied with the UNSC, and since it was a new feature it still had bugs to be worked out. Or you could say that it is activated manually, like the ballistics gel layer that the Red Team used in Fall of Reach, and that sometimes it is activated, sometimes not. OR you could say it is dependant on where the charater's armour is hit, and depending on your armour perms it changes the micropressure points that trigger the lockup. As for the unlocking when it hits the ground, you can say the system was damaged even further and unlocked, or you could say that because the armour has done it's job for the most part and since the MJOLNIR is "smart," it unlocks to prevent worse damage after the fall.
Also, sorry it took me so long to reply. I had to leave my Dad's house since my parents are divorced, and couldn't reply until today.
