Gad, what a goofy way to charge.  I wonder why they didn't just
charge (or discharge) one, then the other?  I bet you're right, and it some
wierd switching that screws up once in a while, but I can't imagine
why it cuts out when chargeing is beyond me.

FWIW... I had a power problem with my GRX570 when it was brand new,
and sony took care if it under warrenty.  

It was different than yours.

Mine would shutdown if I plugged the charger brick into the wall and THEN 
plugged the brick into the laptop, but would work fine if I did it in the 
other order.  And once it shutdown, NOTHING would get it going again till
I removed all batteries and chargers, and re-inserted the battery(s).  Then
it would boot.  
So bugs in the charger circuit are not unheard of.
