If this was bought used, and moves during shifts, it could be wear or condition related.
As the chain rises from the inner ring it can get snagged under a burr, or worn step near the front of the cage. That jams it, and the moving chain kicks the FD forward twisting it around.
This can also happen with a new FD, but it's much rarer.
