I've certainly noticed that low trail on gravel and loose surfaces can get dicey quickly. It feels like if you lose front wheel traction on a corner you're going to go down quickly.
What Soma do you have? My grand rando (v3) definitely feels more twitchy than the VO polyvalent it replaced. I like it on paved surfaces though, and always have a bit of load on the front.
