Has anybody seen this type of behavior? We are solidly convinced that we are using the proper OIDs and making the proper transformations of the data. The two remaining causes appear to be either "natural behavior of the links" and/or "artifact in the IP SLA mechanism".
I've been using IP SLA for years (right now under 12.4) and I have not seen behaviour that mirrors what you see. I often see one-way latency go up without the other way doing so.

You should start by looking in "show ip sla (monitor) op" and see what values you see in the router, that might give you more information regarding where the problem might be (your polling system or if the IP SLA agent is actually reporting what you see).
