A0 would often commit move repetition to see if the engine would repeat moves as well (3 move repetition would result in a draw) but on the 3rd move it would continue with a different strategy or make several moves (often backwards) to reposition a knight or a bishop and completely change attack to the other side of the board.

That is simply the horizon effect my friend, and you will find that Stockfish behaves much the same way. The engine can only look a certain depth down the search tree and so once the repetitive moves have been played, a viable attack reveals itself over the "horizon". You can reproduce this yourself with a simple minimax algorithm and naive board value calculator.
