I've been working on this since about 10:30 am... my 3d math sucks!.
But, after a crash course, a bunch of debugging, stepping through the code and pulling out my hair, I've finally got it.
I've got some code elsewhere that keeps track of the last time the player modified the pitch control. If it's been over a second then the vehicle automatically corrects the pitch to zero. The correction occurs over time and is based on the autoAngularForce. A 2.0 value seems to be about right, but I'll probably have it exposed as a configurable parameter in the vehicle setup.
Eventually I'll get the hard-coded one-second delay moved out to the datablock so it can be configurable as well.
This solves the last hurdle for vehicular control... now time for some more play-testing.

// Dampen the Pitch after stopped moving for a second
// TODO: make this 1.0 second be a DataBlock variable
if (mTimeSinceLastPitch > 1)
{
F32 yangle = mDot(yv, Point3F(0, 0, 1));
torque -= xv * yangle * mDataBlock->steeringForce * mDataBlock->autoAngularForce;
}
