only to fall the very next week. I always thought the chart action of Family Man was strange. It would leap 6-10, only to fall to #8 the next week. Were there any other examples like this in the classic AT40 era?

A few examples:
Who's Holding Donna Now also moved from #10 to #6 and fell to #8 the following week.
Can't Stay Away From you moved from #10 to #6 and then fell to #10.
Piano In The Dark moved from #10 to #6 and then fell out of the Top 10 to #11.
California Girls by David Lee Roth moved from #8 to #3 and then fell to #4.
Shattered Dreams moved from #8 to #2 and then fell to #3, although it moved back up to #2 and stayed there for a further two weeks.

I don't believe a move like Family Man made was common between 1976 until the time R&R expanded to 40 titles in 1983. But similar moves occurred before 1976 like:
Signs 1971 8-3-8
Give Me Love 1973 5-1-4
Two songs that made similar moves to Family Man after 1983:
Piano In The Dark 1986 10-6-11
Dr Feelgood 1989 11-6-8

Some that I noticed in the same vein:
Midnight Blue - Lou Gramm: Jumped into the Top 10 at 8, jumped to 5, dropped to 9.
Words Get In the Way - Miami Sound Machine - Came in at 8, stayed at 8, jumped to 5 without a bullet, dropped out of the Top 10 from 5
Right On Track - Breakfast Club - Jumped in at 7, dropped out next week. One by the Bee Gees would do that as well in 1989.
