This is where video really helps. It could be lots of things - an oil slick you didn't see, cold tires, VSC or e-diff weirdness, or a bad input you made that you don't remember. Even after almost ten years of performance driving, I'm still amazed at some of the things video/photos will catch me doing in the car that I don't realize.
Touching the brakes at the wrong time can certainly upset the car. It's tough to see with the scaling of the longitudinal accel graph but I think you're still slowing down considerably when you turned in. With the front loaded up and the rear unloaded I bet you entered into a slide that you didn't really notice until too late, you may have thought you were just rotating the car well.
You should rarely, if ever, just coast - once you're off the brakes it's good practice to start feeding in throttle, even if it's only 5-10%. That will help transfer some weight back to the rear, and remember: the fastest lap is the one you use the go pedal the most!
