I believe what you saw was the effect of autopilot or pilot command.

With pilot wheel input, the ailerons of course move. After a small deadband about zero, the spoilerons move to assist roll control.

When the AP is engaged, it controls the ailerons alone (I'd have to check how it feeds back to the wheel to see if it has spoileron control).

The other possibility is maybe it was the deadband?
