You can use the build in polygonizer to read the cache files written

I have reproduced this behavior. 2013 SP1. various types of objects as

Manny -- try using a fairly large translation amount per frame.
At low speeds it's not really noticeable. At high speeds it's glaringly
evident.
Move all your referenced models to a different location so that they
load up as offloaded? Load them one at a time, saving and reloading
after each. That should at least let you know if it's a problem with the
models or the scene (despite the fact that they might load individually
just fine).

You're right.
If you paste the parent's translation to the spinning element, it still reproes

It seems related to the way it evaluates the blur without calculating

One way out of this is to double or triple the anim length (animationsequence

Of the 900 objects in this model, there were a few objects that needed
geometry ops freezing on them, so it's a bit tidier now.
