I don't know about whether this is a "sign of emminent disaster", but I would check the oil level as a first step. Depending on how fast you going around the corner, oil does shift within the pan and it is possible the oil intake starved momentarily. Conversely, if you were going slow around a corner and the engine dropped to idle-range RPM's for a moment or two, I would think seeing the oil pressure gauge drop for a moment would be normal.
