Sounds like you have a problem tree and you want to adjust a forest.

I'd pay attention to where it wants to 'ghost shift" to.
I'd the adjust that DER barrel adjuster a click or 2 (keep track so you can return to ground zero) to move the DER in the opposite direction and see what happens.

The fact this repeats makes one wonder how well the cable housing ends are finished and if properly seated.
IF it always ghost shifts to a higher gear, I'd surmise your cables/housing have too much friction for the DER spring to fully overcome until you hit a good jolt to shake it into place.
