I think you gots gremlins in there.

Is it possible the compressor drew liquid refrigerant into the suction side?

I think the reffigerent is supposed to be only vapor by the time it goes around and come back to the input? Is that what the accumulator is for, to prevent liquid from entering the compressor?

That is what seems most likely to me but it also seems to me that the
least likely time for there to be liquid is on a "cold start" when
it's idling. Isn't the liquid more likely to have condensed out after
it's been running for a while at higher speeds?
