I think your problem is that you are not locking the table in the X
direction when you are moving in the Y direction.


No, that is not it. I locked the stationary axis every time (I tried this
milling along both x and y).
I should also add that when I pulled the mill out of the end of the first
(banana shaped) slot it would not go down the same hole again and returned
to its original position along the (in this case) x-axis. It is apparent in
the second pic.
