(If your spool spins freely, manually start rotating the free end of the filament and you'll duplicate this.)
I have had this happen due to the twist getting more and more pronounced. All of a sudden, the spool will just spin and let a loop out to relieve the tension. I have seen this happen! The good news is if you take the spool off of the dowel, you can untwist it some amount and the filament will go back onto it nicely.
