It seems like after 15 min or so the backup horizon starts to tumble.  I don't recall ever having an issue with it before, but now its very unstable.  Any suggestions?

Had the same earlier today. Very strange behaviour.

With loss of battery power the standby attitude indicator will function for 9 minutes. This could be a bug with battery power, or operator fault although you need to be blind to not see a battery failure. If what you're seeing is slight drift, this can occur with vertical manoeuvres. Can you please specify what you mean with tumble?

It has to be the vertical maneuver component that causes OP's problem. I see the same thing when flying maneuvers in excess of 9G. Then the backup attitude indicator tends to develop drift. Wouldn't say this is a bug. This is more like a feature, I guess.

Reset by pulling the knob out

This! And check that the backup matches the main instrument if you reset it in flight. Then you're good to go.

Because of drift you should always verify that the standby attitude matches your ADI before you enter IMC in the case that you lose INS.

There isn't lose of battery power in flight  I have tried to reset it, I can turn the knob but I've been unable to "pull" it 

In order to pull the knob, it needs to be nearly centered.
