I have found with my system that adding my 40 pound bag right behind the rider's butt continues to let the bike ride perfectly since the mass is actually very close to the roll axis of the original cg when the rider is on the bike. The only time you feel that the load is higher than when empty is when walking the bike or when it is on the stand.
.
Getting the weight too far back could eventually start to increase the yaw moment and make the bike wag but I have never felt any ill effects on the road from riding with my set up and since my load starts so far forward, the back of the bag is really not much farther back than the back of a taditionally mounted trunk would be.
