Is there a correlation between frame size and loss of control? Specifically, are you more likely to 'endo' on a bike with a smaller frame size?

    Yes. A smaller frame moves your centre of gravity forward, which means you are closer to the point of endoing.

    However, if a frame doesn't fit (especially if it's too large) then it will be MUCH harder to control. The fit of the bike is extremely important, and this goes for frame, stem, seatpost, and all the other measurements that affect sizing.
