It's a pretty stout silicone piece, but that would explain the symptoms. 

I blew through the hose to clear any obstructions, as well as milked the pressure chamber to break up/dislodge any stuff. Then spent an hour watching laundry TV. Seems to be working. My guess is a bit of sudsy cruft was acting as a flapper valve in the air hose or pressure chamber, since blowing through it seemed harder than it should be for 2' of 3/16'"-ish hose. Maybe there's a damper in there to prevent over-cycling from pressure changes as laundry bounces around.
