Lines A and B are separated by about 1/3 of a second. If your spindle speed is roughly 180 RPM, then they are separated by one turn of the spindle. EMC decides which turn is best to sync to. In this specific case, it actually stops the Z axis for a moment. This makes me believe that it has determined it would have required excessive acceleration to sync up to rev A-1, and decided to wait for rev A. Rev B would have required even greater wait time, so it was not even looked at as a choice, since rev A could be achieved. This is what I read from your plot. I assume many times there would be a smaller wobble in velocity, since this particular snapshot may be one of the worst-case situations.
