Mine's never done it!

Is it consistently every-other time you use the blipper? Does it happen no matter where you are parked or just in one place?

As the back doors are triggered together if you've only got issues with one I'd replace the mechanism whilst you can still open the door. It won't be too expensive if you go the breaker route as it's normally the fronts that give problems so they're more expensive.

Sounds like a loose wire/connection.

I would replace the door lock actuator. Mine was kinda of doing the same thing with the front door. Went to a junk yard and got one for $20. Since I put it in it hasn't done it again.
