Well, I was wrong. Ever since I re-flashed the hand controller and updated the mount's motor controller there has been some really odd behaviour.
Sometimes I will select a target, the hand controller will give the coordinates correctly but then point at the ground. For example, yesterday afternoon I asked it to point at the sun, it gave coordinates of around 267 degrees (near west) and altitude of 40 degrees but it pointed at the ground.
I had Stellarium running last night with the mount. The few times it did it Stellarium showed that the mount was indeed pointing at the ground.
If I then park the scope and try again, it works fine.
