I have seen this type of thing happen when there is a bit of junk in a line that falls back when the flow has stopped, and then move back with the flow to stop it when it gets to a point where the water is restricted. More often, I have seen it to be just something odd about the faucet making it creep off from the flow of the water going through it.

Either it is just the excess water from the pipes or the shut off valve you used to shut the water off with, is not working one hundred percent.

Either replace the washer on the hot side in the faucet (or buy a new washerless faucet), replace the "angle-stop" with a "quarter-turn" style, or install a "water hammer arrestor". (There is a real convenient style on the market, it fits between the incoming nut at the angle stop and the thread on the body of the stop itself).
