Just a 'by the way' thing but if we profile cut a shape the number of +X steps equals the number of -X steps and the number of +Y steps equals the number of -Y steps (this applies to any object where the toolpath starts and finishes in the same place). If steps are,say, gained at random then a 'gained step' when traveling in the +X direction automatically becomes a 'lost step' when traveling in the -X direction (and the same will apply to the Y axis) then gained steps may well cancel each other out exactly and no error will be observed. The same argument will not apply to lost steps, which are created somewhat differently.
All though it is a (very) long shot it is possible this could be cause of your problems.
