Is that additional Caster impacting the effects of the steering axis/geometry side of things cycling L-to-R @ the lower speeds associated when making turns (where the steering is expected to return to center vs changing lanes type of turn)?

Personally, since you forked over the $$ for those CPP arms, I'd put the lower control arms back where they're supposed to be. Get the alignment closer to the aggressive limit for Caster (+7° is aggressive) & see if there's a difference.
I agree with your logic, the only caveat being that I started with Stock Upper and Lower control arms(let's say it might have been 3 degrees of caster) and it was no good. Then I moved the LCAs forward 3/4"(let's say I had 8 degrees of caster total) and it was no good. Then I added the CPP UCAs(let's say I have 13-15 degrees of caster total) and still no good. That being said, I would like to return the LCAs back to their original positions. Do you feel like adding additional Camber would help any? More Toe?
