What actually goes bad inside the R&P to create this symptom?

I've never had one apart.

something in the control valve assy, i don't rebuild then either.
too much liability.

I had an '86 Cutlass that did that, only it would pull hard in one direction; the guy at the parts store called it GM morning sickness.  I changed the rack and that fixed that problem.
I survived the Hyfrecator 2000.

It's usually a swelled O ring, but not really worth trying to fix. For the reason Tom mentioned, liability, repair parts are expensive, and you need some special tools to rebuild one.
