This is, I think, a very common problem with the Ms. Mine behaved the same way but not when I took it upside down. If I moved the film advance lever fast, It dit the same as yours when you're carrying it upside down... It's a part of the shutter control system, called the timer, and which is responsible for the slow speeds that is not anymore working properly. As soon as it's not cocked, the shutter fires roughly at 1/50! Go for a CLA... Good luck, Thib.
