This is interesting. Just finished reading 'Vulcan Test Pilot' and it says that the Vulcan was more unstable the faster it got. it used to pitch down around mach 0.95 and required increasing amounts of up elevator up to mach 0.98 when there was no more elevator travel left and the only way was down.
It also used to hunt up and down in pitch around mach 0.93 completing a cycle every few seconds.
At high altitude it would out turn an F15 though!
