 Here is a quote from the original post which started off this 3 ring circus: 

Holding the throwbar actuator tightly makes no difference. The car does NOT derail. 

Everyone seems to  keep saying the issue is the throw bar isn't tighly holding the points over to one side.  But the OP states explicitly that they are being held tightly, but the car goes in a different direction that the points are thrown and doesn't derail.

Was that conundrum ever answered? 

OPs sometimes say things for certain that in the final analysis turn out to be not so certain.
