WOW, Dr. Eppler, I believe you have a DIAGNOSIS!  With a 
negative command into the driver, it looks like synchronous 
antiphase!  Kirk, can you check if the heating problem is only 
showing up in one direction?  it also ought to have a 
non-symmetrical response.  50% command should give 50% velocity 
for a + input value, and the minus valuses should go from -100% 
speed to +100% speed, with a command input of -0.5 giving zero 
speed.
