At the worst case, it could trick the logic into altering the position by 4 counts. If there is a burst of noise on both A and B at the same time, it could maybe cause more counts than that to accumulate. Have you tried putting pull-up resistors on the A and B lines? I think you have made progress, but it looks like this is not yet working well enough for machining.
