My guess is that when the oil pressure is at it's highest, the oil pressure sending unit is pushed to end of it's calibrated range and cuts out, making it look like a pressure drop. OR the engine is sludged up and the oil is not flowing back into the pan fast enough to satisfy the demands of the oil pump....gulping air bubbles. I know that sounds awful, but I'm trying to think of the worst case scenario. If your engine is pretty clean maybe it would help to change the oil sending unit. Make sure you are running the right grade of oil too.
