Darkwing : Mine does this too once in a while. I'm not patient enough to go through the pattern and finess it in so I just force the shifter into reverse as I release the clutch, grinding a few pounds of gear up in the process.
Seriously though the problem does seem to happen more often in cooler weather.
Cooler weather = thicker oil = stiffer mechanism. Makes sense to me.
