Sounds like the overhang is a big no-no.

From the string experiments, it looks like the "sin" might have actually been having more side area in the rear than in the front? At least from a crosswind perspective. Of course these are high speed runs where aerodynamic stability gains in importance (you don't want your bike to try to swap ends when you hit a bump).
