During the CQ WW RTTY contest, I had a frequency jump occur twice on my K3
(s/n 4521). I was using N1MM Logger and operating around 14.090, but
suddenly my frequency jumped (while not transmitting) down to 14.003. I was
running my amp at about 1300w; it could possibly have been RFI but I
seriously doubt it as I don't have RFI with this setup or any previous
setup. The only way I quickly noticed it was the SWR indicator on my Alpha
amp started blinking at me!

I can confirm - I observed the same thing while setting up the radio for
the contest on Friday and making a test QSO using the radio's memory
buttons. I had the LP-PAN and PowerSDR running, but no radio control
software. I called someone using the memory buttons by pressing M1
twice, and found the receiver was suddenly listening somewhere else. I
was able to recover quickly enough to complete the QSO. I chalked the
whole thing up to having unwittingly bumped a button or knob somewhere,
but in hindsight I can see that in as many details as I can remember,
which is nowhere near the level of detail in John's description, it did
appear to be exactly the same as John is reporting.
