I can't answer your question directly, but last night I was working to do the same thing and got it to work! I did notice the same behavior, moving to the proper X and never starting. For me the problem was that I was using both phases A and B, and that the encoder was counting down, not up.

Under this configuration, maximum step rate is limited to approximately 250Hz, while without 5i23 pwmgen invocation the 4 stepgens perform as expected (with good step rate headroom). That's rather odd. Is it the same with (for example) SVST8_4? This might require headers swapping.
