There are lots of moving parts here, so I don't want to be paranoid about things. I'm not sure if or how they are connected, but as I passed the 1,000 page mark, the site dropped off the Google map. It's almost like it went back into the "sandbox."

The telltale sign for me is my name (uncommon last name). After coming out of the sandbox in June / July, I used to rank #1 for my own name (actually held the #1 and #2 spots. Now I've got about ten sites above me.

The site grows at roughly 5 pages a week for the last 7 months, but I'm wondering if the 1,000 page threshold is another flag for Google. Certainly if Google "thinks" the site is 9,100 pages, then it might be suspicious of the site growing by 8,000 pages overnight.
