Although a perfectly straight chainline is ideal, even a fixie will tolerate some imperfection without throwing the chain. This is almost always the result of 1) the chain not being tight enough to begin with or 2) axle nuts not tightened sufficiently, allowing the hub to slip forward under extreme stress of either really stomping to accelerate or decelerate, which sounds like the case here. You really have to crank them down.
