If I understand you right, after you play an A chop, the G string chimes over the 9th fret as you let up on the strings. I can only make this happen if I relax my left hand and lift my pinky too high so that it lightly touches the G string. If I do my regular chop, it never happens. I looked at what I was doing and all I notice is that when I let up on the chop, my fingers are still on the strings - not enough to fret them, but enough to dampen them. I can't get a harmonic to happen if I leave my fingers on the strings. I'd say maybe you are lifting your fingers too high after your chop.
