Wierd problem when P&G used extensively - '01 Civic

So, as I use pulse and glide more and more, an odd problem is cropping up. One stretch of my morning commute allows me to P&G a lot, to where the engine is off maybe 2/3 of the drive. Near the end of this leg, my car will randomly lose all power, no radio, no dash lights, no speedometer, ultragauge cuts out. If I put it in gear and let the clutch out, the engine will turn over... and after a second or two, fire up. After that, it will run just fine other than sometimes needing to relearn its idle.

Any ideas what is going on?

No loose wires, and I have found nothing obviously wrong. I never see this while driving "normally". I have a theory, but I wanted to fish for other ideas first.
