As I understand it, the VOR needle swings right and left.  If you beyond
(10?) degrees of the selected radial, the needle will always stay pegged
to one side. The needle will move if you are within (10?) degrees of
the selected and it will show you which side you are on and how
close.  It is physically impossible for the needle to point forwards
or backwards, it just swings side to side.

We must be talking about two different things here because your
description is so far different from my understanding/observation of a
VOR needle.

Curt.
