For a skip I normally assume a worn cassette.

I'm leaning towards this too.

Why have you gone off the idea of a damaged d?railleur mech.

Because it only seems to be one sprocket that's affected.

Although i took my rubber bands off today, and there was possibly some skipping in other gears. I wasn't in a position to check exactly what gear i was in when it happened, so i'm not certain.

As well as the spring if the cage gets a knock it can make it impossible to index correctly over the entire sprocket range, so you would get hops on at least one sprocket. You can tested this by hanging the bike up by the saddle and watching as it shifts.

I'll give this a go. It really doesn't feel like hunting, though. I know what that feels like, and this isn't it.
