My 18 xc300 forks are a completely different animal at 12 hours than they were at 3 hours. I'm a big dude and mine took quite a bit to bed in. Up until hour 6 I was 2 clicks out on compression from the manual's "comfort" setting and the forks were harsh enough on small hits. I also experienced more of the symptoms you are describing.
After 6hrs I felt them getting softer and by 10hrs I found my clickers in the "standard" setting.
Other than wanting to revalve the shock on the rebound side I'm pretty content with the feel of the suspension now. Hopefully your issues bed in too.
