The oscillations do tend to get worse during decel from what I've seen. Same in Land Speed Racing. Things usually go bad when slowing. More weight is on the front and it increases any instability.

Slowing is the normal reaction, but at least not chopping the throttle completely might be the best way to scrub off speed without making it worse.

Probably stay off the front brake as well.
