    That's what misfiring is often like in a Prius, because of the way the ECUs are trying to synchronize to the engine rotation with large heavy MGs, and the engine rotation is getting mispredicted.

    I'll take your advice and make a unique thread for this specific story/issue. I think we'll work on the wonky cylinder and see what we can sort out.
