Manipulation I can see happening...I have seen other dogs (different breeds) "pretend" to be ill for the attention they got when they really WERE extremely sick...lol.
If all it is really is a combination of being a little too cold, a little hypoglycemic, and a great "actor"...great, put a sweater on him, turn up the heat, keep food he'll actually snack on where he can graze...whatever...maybe he'll tone down his "acting" career and quit scaring the begeezes out of you.
However, I think I would want to have something like this checked out...especially since it has happened twice. If it is vestibular disease, or neurological, etc., or that he got a hold of the tail of a blue lizard, etc., I'd still want to know, even if there is not much I can do. Knowing is more than half the battle...once you know, if it is negligible, you can quit worrying. If it is more serious, at least you can plan your actions to help/eliminate the issue...and you know if he needs to be watched more closely, etc.
He is such a cutie...I want everything to be okay for him...{{{Hugs}}}
