I think i understand that you are loosing position when reversing direction at a high speed , please correct if we are wrong etc
this could be a number of problems and may well be difficult to trace , although i would guess depending on your servo drives that they are matched , that it may be the opto's not switching fast enough , it may be you need better opto's fitted , this would need investigation further with a scope , along with motor tuning .
you are also getting into the area of high tolerance parts such as your ballscrews and bearings , are they better than 0.0004 ?
and can they take the stresses of changing direction at speed ,both radial and axial directions , and are they preloaded correctly .
work your way through everything mechanicaly first , as any inaccuracys will add up along the way
