Yeah, might be a bug. It's so risk adverse (typically) that anything that spooks it makes it change. They were probably trying to use the auto lane change. I always keep my hands on the steering so if it tries to swerve back, I just continue the lane change.

It's not that it swerves left and right, the driver probably engaged the system and it sits to the left of the lane. When going past a truck, it moves to the right of the lane to give you more room.

It's really a great system as long as you know its limitations.
