Ah hm. I wonder which one of our two effects is dominant. I can see that your explanation must plainly exist - it's just not part of the standard "intuitive" model taught to frisbee players.
That's a really clever fin design.
If the dominant component of rotation was due to the center of pressure being ahead of the center of mass, could you to use timing of the fin being in a "high drag" configuration to pull the time averaged center of pressure back towards to the center of mass?
