I think it's keyholing. That is, it's rotating but not about it's own axis anymore. It'll take more limes to figure out exactly what makes it do that, but it doesn't take nearly as much to cause that as it does to deflect it. For instance, if you slow a bullet's spin down enough and it will do that, so friction with the inside of the lime might have been enough.
