Would the pivot premature wear issue you mentioned as a possible cause of the increased rate (10 sec/day) I observed with my AT 15'000 Gauss also lead to this type of Knock? I've listened to my AT 15'000 Gauss after a 45 min swim, but I could not detect the galloping sound. However, if it's sporadic, I might not "catch it in the act". Magnetized watches show the same sporadic acceleration due to a different cause (spring coils touching). I've caught a magnetized watch in the act of accelerating before, but that watch was much faster than 10 sec/day.
