    Almost looks like a coupling or something is slipping in the drive train. I had that happen on my Z axis where I started getting random grooves. I tighten the coupling and all was fine. I don't think its software related.

    Yup, that's a mechanical issue. Either a loose coupler of some sort or the stepper is stalling. Mach will not enter an offset by itself.
    Take a look at the mechanicals for loose screws or binding in the axis.
    Good Luck.
