Does anyone know what would cause the passenger side mirror to stop automatically adjusting while in reverse?

I would like to know the answer to that one myself, I've had the mirror adjust button in both positions (left and right) and the tilting reverse function doesn't seem to work in either.

I believe the passenger mirror only drops in reverse when the mirror switch is set to the left. It won't move (unless manually adjusted) if the position is to the right.
This is correct - at least in my wife's new 2007 328xi. The mirror adjust selector switch must be left (driver's side) to enable the passenger side mirror to angle downward while in reverse gear. I imagine this is the way your car works too.

it only happens on cars that have electric seats with memory fitted
That would explain why I have never had it happen on my car.
Thanx
