I heard and saw it.   The car made a noticeable clank, and came to a stop 
as though somebody had stomped on the brakes.

Although there's a possibility that something is amiss in the ZF, I would 
be more inclined to believe that the problem has to do with one of the brake 
calipers, probably in the rear.   Mounting bolt comes adrift, the caliper 
manages to do okay when the wheels are moving forward, but it gets cocked and 
jams on when the wheel turns backwards.

Jack the car, pull the wheels, check out the calipers....
