A quick update: the problem came back and got even worse. But when I took the soft release off and exercised the shutter release button a bit, the camera recovered and has stayed that way for a week. Can't get the problem to recur now, and it had been totally chronic before I removed the softie.
I'm still not too comfy with this, as it had been working fine with a softie attached for months. But there you go.

Since the M8 shutter mid-press AE lock is already touchy, a softy might interfere. I'd keep the softy for use on a film M body.

I'd had a black softie on my chrome M2, so now I'm kinda glad I get to put a chrome softie in its place!

Now that you mention it.... I had the same experience when streetshooting a couple of months ago. At first I thought it was the auto shut off (2 minutes) which prevented me from taking a photo immediately. But it happened two or three times, even within a minute. I'm not sure what caused it, but my guess was at the time that I had shifted the control lever shlightly off its 'A' position. It has never happened again.
