I just _don't_ believe it!

Thanks everyone for the advice.

This afternoon I set the head up inside to start troubleshooting. Lo and behold, all the slews went to believable positions! So I set it up outside and tried a real alignment. It's as good as ever. That is to say just OK.

Even with 4 calibration stars it couldn't put Saturn in a 0.5 degree fov. The clouds have rolled in at the moment so I've left it running and I may find out later how well it is aligned. It certainly isn't too bad and I doubt better alignment will help much. Oh well, I knew it was at the bottom of gotos when I got it and I suppose you get what you pay for.
