I drove to my destination about 10 minutes away with the car surging at idle, running badly, and sounding like it had a miss. I shut it down and on impulse restarted the car.
Voila! The car started right up, sounded smooth, and the CEL light was out. The drive home (30 miles) was uneventful.

Flashing light, solid light, goes away is typical for an engine kill scenario. Maybe those pesky German engineers never took an engine kill scenario into consideration and doing so confuses the electronics? Who knows, but it clears up and everything is fine.
I think between this and the AOS failure you have 2 disparit data pts that can't be used to draw any conclusions about the personality of your Box.
