If this was actual knock, power output should dramatically drop, yet the accompanying dyno charts for each look impressively smooth. These sudden timing drops don't appear to indicate knock at all.

That's an interesting point.

Do you think the timing spikes might be related to climbing IAT's?

I tended to notice such a correlation in my logs.
