It wasn't me (thankfully there was nobody with a camera!), but the strip is one-way so downwind landings are something that has to be lived with. Don't plan on trying it in the Cub for a while, though...
I suspect you're probably right about getting a bit of yaw or roll in the bounce, and that causing the dramatic lurch for the edge of the runway. On the landings that didn't bounce things were easier.

I too thought that a Cub would be easy after a Pitts! Having said that, I've only landed a Pitts on grass and only landed the Cub on tarmac which possibly didn't help.
As you say, the brakes aren't up to much. The main problem was reaching them, however. The only way I could get a decent pressure on the pedal was to take my foot off the rudder...

60mph over the threshold. Stick full back? The trim spring was strong, so I think I goofed on the stick back bit...
As for the heel brakes, I hope you're right! It felt like either my legs were too long or my ankles too inflexible...
I'll have another go in a couple of weeks, and hopefully things will go better then.
