Canon 18-135mm Stabilization Jumps

I just picked up the Canon 70D 18-135 STM kit. I have noticed some jumping around in the stabilization on camera moves. Sometimes after a pan, the image will suddenly jump or shift, almost like the stabilization is catching up or resetting itself. In the video link below I have put a few frames of tone at each of these jumps to help mark them. This is rough handheld work, but the jumps are not hand movements. Since shooting this I have had this issue on slower, smoother pans as well. Has anyone else observed this behavior or is my lens defunct? I mostly shoot video so it's a bit of an issue.
