I was finding something like that when I was using APT as my capture software, a blind plate solve and sync resolved it each time but I found I needed to build a pointing model. Using sequence generator I have found the initial goto to be a lot more accurate but I have no idea why. I park the mount in the same way as I used to. The only difference is that SGP uses a different sync model in EQMod where is syncs to the curren location each time rather than building a pointing model, but by my understanding it should not make any difference to the next start up.
Do you move the mount at all manually while it is powered off? I assume you park it via EQMod before shutdown.
I might try an experiment next time and move my mount well off the normal park position before powering it up and see where it parks to after it has been synchronised. If it returns to the offset park position and is close to the target before sync the next time you may be able to just offset your park position a little. It depends on if parking the mount is returning it to the same point in the sky or the same point on the worm, the PEC routine suggests it might be the same point on the worm as that demands the mount be parked before switching off but it can be moved by releasing the clutches later without upsetting the PEC.
