What I've heard is when the diaphragm fails, initially the nitrogen mixes with the hydraulic fluid, forming bubbles that make the ride bouncy for the same reason your brakes get spongy when they need bleeding. Eventually the bubbles purge out and then the ride gets hard, because all the compliance is gone from the system.
