Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
I have no idea why this happens, I just wanted to say that you're not the only one (even if your doctor seems to think so ). I'm an IBS-A, and it doesn't matter if I'm D, C, or perfectly normal, I still cramp afterwards. I think your "spasmodic shock" theory sounds just about right!
Fortunately, my cramps are pretty mild, and I've found that a cup of peppermint tea usually does the trick. I have Bentyl to potentially take when it happens, but I've never used it - the peppermint works.
