Wouldn't 5th be a road gear that you used after you really got rolling? 4th is where you spent most of your road time and when you went into 5th it was a conscience choice at higher speeds? If so, the shift up would feel natural and like it was by design rather than accident. An "overdrive" kind of shift. I could be wrong because I never had one, but I recall similar setups that I think were made that way on purpose.
The split between 4th and 5th on a Deuce is very wide. While the shift back and forth between 4th and 5th might meet your description. The shift from 3rd to 4th or 4th to 3rd is extremely unnatural.
