I know what you mean.
Sometimes, when the preceding traffic is altering the localizer beam, the FD will command a slight bank in the wrong sense. In VMC and manual flight there is no point in following it. I just keep aligned with the centerline and wait for the FD bar to come back to me. Sometimes I hear "follow the bars" or something. I hate that.
I am also an advocate of making the bars come, in this sense: the bars tell me what they want, in order to achieve the target. then I bank and or pitch as necessary to achieve the target. As I bank ad or pitch, the bars change. they give targets, they don't have to be followed while they move. If you achieve the pitch and bank angle required, they will be centered. For instance, if the order is bank 25º right, the bar is fully to the right. I don't rush to follow it (it goes there very quickly). Instead I gently roll to 25º and the bar will come to me as much as I do come to it, but gently. Same for pitch. Sometimes the target is too much and I know that if I go for it slowly the bar will reverse and meet with me halfway. If I followed the command quicky I would have to make two inputs in both senses.
It's important to know that it is not necessary to follow the bars as they move, but to gently reach the target they are marking.
