Reset during Power Panic recovery

During a long print ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:872684 at 75%), printing from an SD card, a kid wiggled the power plug loose from the wall, and the Mk3 (running RC5 firmware) performed a Power Panic. When I restored power, it detected it, and offered to resume, which I selected. The printer moved the head up and started heating up, but when the head and bed were at temperature, instead of resuming printing, it reset (just as if I'd hit the reset button). After it was done rebooting, it didn't offer to resume, so the print was lost.

So I think there are two issues here. First, whatever triggered a reset instead of resuming printing. Second, repeating resuming from power panic should work, as there are many scenarios where a first resume could fail such as repeated power loss, or (in this case) a bug causing a software reset.

Is there anything that I can do to help debug this?

Re: Reset during Power Panic recovery

I'm seeing the same behavior with a larger print. I have a laser printer that will cause a power glitch when it kicks on and my printer goes into power recovery mode, positions the extruder, heats up, and just sits there and does nothing. I've reproduced the problem 3 times with this one file. With other files I've seen my mk3 recover just fine.
