I will be keeping an eye on this thread to see if I can glean any info on how to fix this annoying problem.

It's sounding like an at least 26 year old problem that Holden never solved...... Seems to affect ute's and not sedans or wagons. Some say it the breather, but I replaced every hose on my tank except the biggest piece that joins the metal filler neck to the tank as that's not the restriction, as far as I can see. I'm not lying either when I say it takes me 10-15mins to fill my tank and the bastard cuts out at least 40 times. I find that old bowsers are better, where as the new more sensitive ones are right pricks.
The breather pipe on the Crewman is huge compared to the one that was on my VP.

Damn, and I was hoping this thread may have given me a solution, like the OP needs.
