I'm wondering if the wobbling created by the post's long and imbalanced reach contributes. If I used the longer post, thereby grabbing post midway on that shaft, might that help?

Good question, but logically one would think that it shouldn't matter. I read somewhere that seat posts can vary in diameter -- maybe enough to create the issue you are talking about. Again, logically that shouldn't matter either. That's why we have the seat post lock. Is there someone who can check to make sure the locking device is working properly?
I hope its not because of the length as I'm going back to perhaps change out the longer post for the standard length. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the test bike I rode had the standard post and it was fully extended during my ride. It fit me fine. Reason for changing it out is that the longer post will not allow the bike to fit the carrier bags, particularly the solid carrier without having to remove the seat.
