This isn't in any way a complete answer but I do find it illuminating to see this behaviour in a numerical simulation. In particular we see the periodic flips that seem to appear out of nowhere. Note how angular momentum is temporarily stored in the $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$$\omega_3$ components of the angular velocity during the flips.
