Cuff,
Your gas thermostat may well be set lower than your electric thermostat and when it reaches the gas "upper limit" the electric keeps heating the water until it hits the gas "safety cutoff" which disables the gas circuit to prevent overheating while using gas. Both the electric and gas sides have this safety feature to prevent tank overheating but they are independent of each other so if one is too far out of adjustment with the other, it could affect the other system. I don't think there is any adjustment of either system "upper limit switch" other than replacement. Maybe you could adjust your "habits" to include turning off the electric after you no longer need the fast recovery? You should be able to reset the gas side by simply turning off the indoor gas operation switch and then turning it back on after a few minutes. I know that's a pain, but probably better than chasing down electric thermostat reset switches for replacement which possibly won't fix the issue......
