ATT has always pushed calls to 2G if 3G is full or getting full.
ALL E911 calls are pushed to 2G as the location measuring equipment is on 2G only. Once you are on 2G the call will NOT hand up to 3G so if you get into an area with poor 2G coverage (have been shutting down 2G sites to make room for more 3G) your call will drop.
