This happens on both GC and Wii then, because I get this same thing on the GC version. There seem to be a few things that *can* cause this. Hunter Metroids... (The Red ones that lock on to you with like a grapple beam) Chozo Guardians... (The transparent White/Blue guys that you see after you collect the X-Ray Visor) Lava damage...
It seems to be related to "sudden screen changes." When a hunter metroid locks on to you, the screen gets all fuzzy and "flashes" for an instant... I think the flash is the cause of the issue... because the same flash and fuzziness happens on screen when you get hit by the chozo guardians, and that's usually when I get the "black screen of death."
I still haven't found a way to recover from this.
It's strange that everything still "works" aside from interaction with environment and npcs... (Map, morph ball, shooting, sounds, pause screen)
What I did notice is when I got the BSOD in the lava, I still took lava damage and eventually died... when I died, it fixed itself. (of course I was back to where I last saved...) but the fps drop and black screen were gone.
