A powerful globe-spanning dust storm blocked the sun and deprived the rover of solar power, putting it into a low-power mode... I'd would think that the software designers would have put in place a command to retract and restore the antenna and solar panels for the case of lack of recent contact. So that on its own, it tries to shake off dust.
