How were they unstable?

YMMV.

Terrance Dicks own novelization confirmed that the 4th Doctor acted
really strange and bonkers for an extended period after his
regeneration, although much of it was offscreen, such as his first
encounter with Xoanon.  The 11th Doctor's intro copied this.

 
Oh?  The 111th Doctor was trying to get control.
 
The 4th Doctor was very conscious when he arose.

When did The Doctor first meet Xoanon?

One night 'near the beginning of that business with the Giant Robot',
the Doctor took off in the TARDIS for a little ride; this led him into
his original adventure with the Mordee and Xoanon. Afterwards, the
TARDIS returned him to Earth within a few minutes of his departure, [so]
no one ever knew that he'd been away.'

The 7th and 8th Doctors were very unsure of who they were for a

while.

8th Doctor was not JNT.

 
But neither were a radical departure.

So what?  Radical departures aren't always bad, as long as they're
justified on screen.
