I think it's still the wheel effect. If you make a wheel animation and let
its velocity vary, you'll see it alterning between clockwise and
counter-clockwise rotation, even though it's "really" only going in one
direction in the code. Likewise, in your scene, angular velocity varies a
lot when you try to go in the fractal, as opposed to the fairly smooth
movement in the beginning of the animation.
That's my guess, anyway.

You may find you'd get more feedback if you used non-Windows specific
codecs, Xvid or Mpeg should be supported on a fair number of platforms.
