Now me:

You've brought up something that I think I finally figured out--the 
Anglia wasn't just an Anglia anymore, not after Arthur got done with 
it.  

The problems it was having when it approached Hogwarts may have been 
the reaction of the Muggle-made parts to the magic around Hogwarts 
(Hermione says something about magic making Muggle technology 
malfunction--sorry, can't find the exact passage right now.  And 
sorry about the onomatopeia). 

 Since it had been modified by magical means, once the Muggle 
technology conked out, it started operating as a completely magical 
object.  Hence, its tendency to run around the woods and rescue Harry 
and Ron.

I don't think we've necessarily seen the last of that opninionated 
little contraption.
