I'm guessing when it happened the GPS did drift and the drone was trying to correct and even with WAAS the precession isn't going to be better than 5 meters. Which is why it was not supposed to get close, nor move fast, and to give time for pause button. Which did not work or work fast enough. I hit it well before it suicided, and it kept going. When I review the flight log it also records rudder settings I never gave which also don't match the flight path.
It very likely just bugged out.

No need to guess.
The recorded flight data would show the level of GPS reliability during the incident.

It would be interesting to see how good/bad GPS reliability was.
With really bad GPS reliability, the drone has no brakes and can't stop.
When I review the flight log it also records rudder settings I never gave which also don't match the flight path.
That's another thing that would be interesting to see.
I haven't seen a DJI flight data from the new waypoint implementation, but with Litchi waypoint flying or other DJI automated flight modes like RTH or POI, the flight data only shows actual joystick inputs and the waypoint control inputs never show.
It very likely just bugged out.
Drones are mechanical and don't just "bug out".
There are always underlying causes for whatever they do.
