Andrew, this sounds like you have a bad idle speed ECU.
I've swapped ECUs and watched the problem follow the ECU to
another car.  The symptoms are as you describe.  Engine
idles smooth when cold, but then when it warms up, the idle
goes nuts even to the point of occasionally stalling the
engine.  The old ECU was repaired by replacing the old ICs
in it.  One in particular is an op-amp which has internal
capacitors that break down with age.  It is simply a matter
of time before all ignition ECUs have this problem.  The
upside is that new chips only cost a few dollars and require
moderate soldering skills to replace.

I think John Hervey does this fix on a swap basis.
