I think this is the known "feature" described by Wayne in: http://www.ac6rm.net/mailarchive/html/elecraft-list/2000-03/msg01007.html

Running CAL PLL has not cured the problem, and I have since found >the same problem on 15m. It might exist on other bands but I have not >had the time to check. I have a *suspicion* that strong signals from the >antenna / banspass filters reach the VCO and Reference oscillator area >of the RF board by some direct route, not via the Preamp / attenuator / >mixer and momentarily 'upset' the VCO causing the click. The VCO (VFO) >could be upset if some product produced by multiple mixing attempted to >take over control of the loop, sometimes a problem with locked loops.
