Thanks for all the responses. I have done a lot more playing around this evening.
It seems to be to do with generator/battery/external power switching. I can remove the problem by artificially setting a constant voltage on the master bus and inhibiting bus switching. Finding out whether this is due to the electrical switching logic or to some related effect in one of the aircraft systems is my next step. With the switching inhibited the afterburners seem OK. Are any other aircraft similarly affected? I am using the Lightning as a template for a model that I am developing, so I had problems when this fault suddenly appeared in my own development. Back checking to the original aircraft showed that for once it wasn't my stupid fault!. AFAIK the Lightning has been stable and unchanged for some time now.
