What is happening is that the slow speed engagement mechanism isn't springing back completely and consistently into place to retard the second curtain. Maybe the mechanism is gummed, or got a bit of old grease stopping it from engaging fully, or the spring has lost its strength. At higher speeds, this slow speed mechanism is purposely moved out of the way completely. That's why your high speeds are working fine.

Unpredictable.... Thank you in advance, Alex
