I was lucky enough to realise really quick when the first goto resulted in the RA moving the amount that I expected the DEC to move. It could have easily kept me guessing in any other circumstance.

Yes, my problem was that I didn't try the goto, because when polar aligning I usually just point the scope at a convenient couple of stars, then when I'm happy with the PA, I align the goto function. Problem was that I was so convinced that it was a software problem, that I didn't consider other possibilities.
