"I suspect that the cause and effect might be reversed from your explanation... a dip in idle to the point that the engine almost stalls can cause the oil pressure light to activate. Since the oil pump is crankshaft driven, when the engine speed is too low it will not generate oil pressure."

That actually sounds like what may be occurring, makes sense in my situation ( just a flash of oil light with momentary dip in idle).
