Anyone? Cool, I'm there for ya.

Both the servos and the RX are, essentially, on the same bus. Thus, the
voltage to one is the same as the voltage to another. Your description
sounds like the servo simply requesting more energy than the battery can
provide and the voltage drops dramatically.

What happens then I can't say. But I think it differs with different
components. It will depend on each component and situation.

   How much will the voltage be pulled down?
   Will the RX quit first?
   Will the servos quit first?
   Will both quit?
   Is there enough juice in the battery to recover nominal voltage?

But, it's academic really. You shouldn't be playing close to the edge.
Personally, several of my planes that I have experienced this with gave no
warning. They flew normally until simply going dead in the air. One time it
corresponded to a large stick input which the battery couldn't handle nor
recover from. Which is pretty logical. One minute normal, the next I slammed
into an aileron roll and 'Poof' the plane was dead and still rolling all the
way to the ground. Thud.
