That is a bit weird Mark.
Like 2 different symptoms at once. Have you spoke to the tuner regarding this?
A few quick things pop to mind.
You can add more oil to counter the bottoming (particularly if its only in the last half of the stroke). If its blowing throw too quickly you might want to address the valving again or look at spring preload or repsringing.
Slow steering. Was the shock done at the same time? It amazed me the effect the shock can have over the front of the bike, and the ride height at the rears effect on the steering. Also might be hard to recall, but has the tuner put the forks back in the same place in the triples. Have you tried moving these to see how they effect things?
I'm also thinking that it could be the rebound circuit isn't dialled in right. This is where the tuner would have spent most of their time as this is where you were at the end of the range. If its rebounding too fast it'll unsettle in corners. The front won't settle down which means it sits high and won't steer as sharp, and it'll also deflect or push back against ruts and rocks instead. Commonly known to climb out of ruts. If its really too fast you may notice the front end pogo when you land hard or punch into things. Compression doesn't sound too high as you keep saying it bottoms easily.
