Meteor had snaking issue too, as had Lockheed P-80:
Most did at that speed, however the Lockheed's issue seems to stem from its hydraulically boosted ailerons.

There is a good reason nobody else in the world used hydraulically boosted controls at the time.

Lockheed pushed them but it was well into the 1950's before they technology worked even close to what was intended.
