It seems like using ReflexCoil kick may ensure that you get energy stored up at the end of the fight, unless you had Unleashed ReflexCoil. It is possible to store energy at the end of a fight in which the pants were unleashed, though.

So, from my experimenting so far in the dockside sewers, both etheric and sober, it seems like the releasing of the latches only happens in combats that start as a result from a choice encounter. Anybody else seeing that pattern, or anything that would contradict it?

This seems to be more or less true. I don't think I've gotten the effect to trigger on any combat encounter, but I think I saw it not vs 2 dockhands.
Some people (including me) have had trouble charging the pants but I have also managed to get it to charge for use of a single technique:
You whirl into a strange dance, stomping down at the Bum for 25 damage.
or
You leap into the thug for 23 damage.
I think certain techs are flagged as "leg" techs. I wasn't getting any winds using Clashing Blow/Crushing Punch/Brutality/Primitive Attack as my deck over many, many fights. Switching to all Reflexes-based techs didn't seem to help. But I get them almost every fight now when I use Leaping Dodge, which intuitively involves a lot of leg motion.
Also, I have bulky cyberlegs installed, but so far haven't managed to get anything special out of the pants. I also haven't seen any reports of folks with organic legs getting them broken, which seems like a thing that ought to be possible, based on what Zack says in his sales pitch.
Also — I think I totally mis-interpreted Arkaim's recent addition for running away from fight (but it inspired me to experiment with writhing masses anyway, which is cool) — thought for a second that you could run away from an opponent that has you in a tight hold, but I think he's talking about failing to running away from low reflexes?
Either way, neat find.
