That's not a "wierd ABS" thing... the ABS won't *ever* come on unless you're pushing the brake. What you experienced is called "pushing"... you turn the wheel and just slide on the front tires. Basically you're going too fast for the turn and there isn't enough traction available up front for the tires to turn the car, so you just slide straight.
When you do it real bad, it can sound just like the ABS is on. I've got in-car video of one of my runs during the last event when I did it (the video's on my PC at home, I can upload it later tonight)... you hear the tire squeal, then suddenly it just shakes to hell... the camera bounces all over the place as I hop on the front tires. All this w/o touching the brake, I was simply going too fast for the turn. As the push scrubs off speed, my traction picks back up and the car finishes the turn.
Ask Art about pushing real bad, that's how he ran over a tree.
