"Thanks for the info, I have of course in the meantime figured out how to stop the problem in the future -
"NO TRACK SHORTENING"
I know your tongue was in your cheek, but even without track shortening, the Airbus will turn early in order to intercept the next track - we never fly over any waypoints unless the outbound track is the same as the inbound, or we tell it to. Of course, then we turn "late" and probably approach the other side of the airway.
