You have done the obvious,try the obscure.While on good stands,go under the car Wile some one is turning the wheel is their any point that the mechanics are touching or moving any electrical/ fuel components that might temporarily disable/interrupt the flow of electricity/fuel to the engine?

That is perplexing for sure...older cars sometimes had a problem like this, because the float was too low, starving the engine of fuel when the gas sloshed over to one side in the carburetor...
With electric fuel pumps, and fuel injection, that ain't supposed to happen.
Many cars have an impact switch that shuts off the fuel pump when the vehicle gets hit in the rear. It is a real stretch, but possibly the switch has something wrong with it, causing it to momentarily lose contact when going around turns.
Sorry, but that's my only guess on that one...

It could be low on oil or transmission fluid.
