Good one, n5296s. I think you've explained it nicely.
Steadily moving airmass which the aircraft turns with respect to, no appreciable change in IAS in the turn.
Rapid changes (ie gusts, shear), or pilot reacting to slip/skid illusions or trying to maintain position with respect to a ground feature, then we get IAS changes.
