The low-temperature charge-density-wave (CDW) state in the layered organic metals α-(BEDT-TTF)₂MHg(SCN)₄
 has been studied by means of the Shubnikov–de Haas and de Haas–van Alphen effects. In addition to the dominant
 α-frequency, which is also observed in the normal state, both the magnetoresistance and magnetic torque possess a
 slowly oscillating component. These slow oscillations provide a firm evidence for the CDW-induced reconstruction
 of the original cylindrical Fermi surface. The α-oscillations of the interlayer magnetoresistance exhibit an anomalous
 phase inversion in the CDW state, whereas the de Haas–van Alphen signal maintains the normal phase. We argue
 that the anomaly may be attributed to the magnetic-breakdown origin of the α-oscillations in the CDW state.
 A theoretical model illustrating the possibility of a phase inversion in the oscillating interlayer conductivity in the
 presence of a spatially fluctuating magnetic breakdown gap is proposed.
