Gave myself one hell of a fright today, as well. Going round a roundabout and ended up doing more of a lean than expected and felt the back wheel start to step out. Managed to turn into it and straighten up, then took it a bit easier for a couple of miles while my heart got back to normal.

You have my sympathies: it's the slow speed offs that seem to hurt your pride the worse.
