"I've got the same problem on a 28/2.8, which I had hoped to trade in for a

like a spring has broken/come adrift in the stop down mechanism, when you
operate the stop down lever on the lens, that is."

I had this problem on my 28 2.8. 

I undid the three screws on the mount and took it off, removed the depth 
preview mechanism and cleaned it in meths. Then reassembled it, and now its 
fine. I think it was just dirt.

It did work fine using the camera operated lever on the back, so I guessed that 
the diaphragm itself wasn't sticky. Does it work OK when it's on the camera?
