I have the same experience with the malfunction option in SH3, but only in the Type XXi. In others it merely stops at a max speed slower than the normal full speed. One fix for this is to use the Knot meter directly, instead of the engine telegraph, that will allow you to reach full speed even if the sabotage thingy kicks in.
