My engine shows a peculiar behavior too, in this position.
Bxa1 fails low fast (in less than one minute) and is replaced by g4.
However on the next iteration, Bxa1 becomes the best move again. Comet then
sticks to Bxa1 for some "eternity" (7-8 minutes).

OTOH, Nimzo-99 for instance discards Bxa1 already after a couple of seconds and
won't switch back.

Is there some special problem with this position ?
