if it really was bent to 130, and then overnight relaxed to its previous dimension, that means that there were some residual stresses close to the yield stress that pushed it back. It just doesn't sound like the way that steel acts. It does seem like aluminum will do something like this though. Given the smooth curvature of the aluminum stress/strain curve, it seems more likely in that case.
