I ended up pulling the wiper fuse and had to lock the car with the key. Eight hours later I put the fuse back and everything has been fine since. I still don't know why and it's been on a T4 since with no hint of this.
I had similar problems in the wet when my battery was on the way out and not holding a charge. I guess the wet shows it up because you've got the wipers and lights on in addition to all the usual. A good charge overnight fixed it temporarily, a new battery fixed it for good.

Perhaps the source of the discharge if the battery itself is fine...?
