shaun,
my gearbox does exactly the same, every now and then, its done it since i owned the car (6 yrs) and hasn't got any worse. i have changed the oil and filter, didnt really help, nor did a new maf.
like you say, restart the car and all is fine, gearchanges spot on etc.
i had my car scanned twice, once it showed no faults, and the second time it showed two faults, one of the faults read -reverse pressure solenoid low/ fail-, cant remember the other off hand.
i broke a car, just for the gearbox, and sold it to another member here who badly needed one, (i got used to the cars behavior by then)
good news is its not terminal mate, just go easy on engaging reverse (let the revs build gradually), if i can find my old, old post, ill put a link up

If I were to give a wild guess, it would be cracked insulation somewhere on the wiring. But take that as a wild guess (not even an educated wild guess )
