I've noticed on my LE (running V1.3) that sometimes the up post in the orbit will go up after I hit the left orbit, it goes up after the ball leaves the orbit on the right. It seems to happen more during a multiball, but not not always. It doesn't happen all the time, I haven't narrowed it down to any particular mode yet. Anyone else notice this?

My assumption on this from the non-LE version I play at an arcade was that it was to increase the skill factor on loop combos. Don't know why it comes up when coming out the right side, but there's been times where I will miss that additional chain shot because I forget to hold down left flipper.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to describe. If you enable super pops, the right orbit post will go up if you shoot it up the right orbit. This is so the ball comes back down into the pops.
 
I notice it when I shoot into the left orbit, after it exits the post goes up. What you say makes sense for what I see though, it may be during super pops, it isn't all the time and I haven't figured what mode I see it in yet. If it is super pops, after the ball goes around the orbit clockwise it will trigger the spinner, the game probably puts up the post anytime the right spinner hits during super pops. That shot to the right orbit is pretty tight, I just don't hit it enough (especially in multiball) to notice the effect. I'll keep an eye on super pop mode when I see it.
