Thats EXACTLY how mine started and that was the morning after driving to Preston and back in one day. So I couldn't blame anyone else!
You would probably find that whichever contacts are responsible for showing the car was in reverse to the TCU is the first to have contactor problems, possibly - and counter-intuitively - as its the least used. The car is then OK when you stop and start off in D or even S but as soon as you engage reverse again the system "sees" an implausible signal and goes into Limp mode.
