Yep, at least for older AI's -- it will re-erect itself in a little while, if you're patient. In fact, unusual attitudes like that can cause other problems as well. I was practicing a hold inside a well-developed cumulus cloud on Thursday, and just as I was turning outbound for the parallel entry, I hit some nasty stuff (not that the whole thing wasn't a roller-coaster ride) and snapped into a 45+-degree bank before I could get it back. I had reset my heading indicator just before entering the hold, but then I had all kinds of trouble intersecting tracks. It took me a while to figure out that that one jolt had caused my HI to precess 30 degrees instantly (!!).
