Sounds like a characteristic of zero toe
We had that problem with this year's HPV -- if you shifted your mass at high speeds (pedaling really hard), the wheels wanted to catch a new direction
Even crosswinds would take advantage of the wheels searching for "straight" (given our caster and trail angles)
We adjusted for .5-.75 degrees of toe in (hooray adjustable design!) and all of that went away... And our top speed did NOT change
To be honest, I'd take steering stability over fuel economy any day
