Read this paper by Pete and Bob Alway. It explains how the CP moves when the angle of attack get far away from zero. This effect can be harnessed to make a rocket that is stable in forward flight but can also become a glider without changing geometry or moving mass at ejection. It also can explain why your rocket flies sideways in a swing test.

Thanks for the reference, it explains the underlying dynamics of the behavior.
INFORMATION!
Gotta love it....
