A pure long-shot this, but leaf springs can develop a lot of friction between the leaves. This could prevent the car recovering when load is removed, but would be overcome when you shake the car with no load.
Try spraying the leaves with a light penetrating lubricant. If that works then a more permanent solution, used in period, would be to grease the leaves and wrap them in a some sort of boot.
Let us know how you get on!
