After pressing the 'Return to Home' button on the remote control, the mavic starts it's return but abruptly 'slams on the brakes'. It move about 15 or 20 feet in the direction of it's home point and hits the brakes again. It hovers for about 5 seconds and attempts it's flight home again, makes it about 15 feet or so and then hits the brakes and on and on.
Anyone know of this issue or what might be causing this?

Your symptoms sound like your home point has the aircraft heading into the sun.  The object avoidance will sometimes mistake this for an obstacle and halt forward movement.

EastyT is very likely correct about OA being the cause of the behavior you saw, though I'd add that it doesn't necessarily even have to be facing the sun. For example, it wasn't in this case.
