I realize that the "pause->end game->start new game" cycle is purely video gamey and not an issue on the actual tables, but in the video gamey version of these tables there are goals and unlimited credits, so people are going to learn the button sequence that starts them with a fresh game if their first ball drains unsatisfactorily. And after you learn this sequence and start hammering on it quickly, a lot of problems arise in The Pinball Arcade.
One of them that is easy to reproduce happens on Black Hole and possibly the other tables as well. If you pause and end game while "TILT" is displayed on the screen without letting the ball fall all the way down past the deactivated flippers, your new game will begin in the tilt state. Not a huge deal. The easy workaround is to wait for the ball to drain before restarting if you tilt the machine (such as trying to complete the rollovers without a lane change feature). But just thought I'd document it here.

Total pain in the butt...I confirm this bug...which of course enrages me further after already furiously using the left stick.
