Being stubborn, I thought I'd have one last go with Bitwig and the NDLR and see what happens when the NDLR's pad quantization is set to 1/8th. The 2nd and following recorded pad notes consistently changed 1/8th note earlier than I was expecting - something I can't blame on my setup 
.
Watching the NDLR's main display I think I've come up with a possible cause. The NDLR seems to change chords early when the chord sequencer is running. I think that change is happening before the the last 1/8th note of the chord (e.g. during the 7th 1/8th note in a single bar chord). The NDLR then quantizes this change to the next 1/8th note and so changes early. This doesn't happen with 1/4 note quantization as the NDLR is already in the last 1/4 note of the chord when it decides to change.
This doesn't account for the odd 1/64th timings and lengths seen on the Deluge but might explain the obviously early changes
