It almost sounds like the cut on the sprocket teeth needs some finessing, we made our own sprockets for an off-season proto and had similar issues. A bit of careful file-ing of the tooth profile did the trick.
Another thing to look for is 'squeezed' link in one of your chains. I've found that it's very easy to squeeze #25 chain during the breaking process to the point that it's too narrow to properly sit on the sprocket teeth. You can open it back up with some steady hands and some pliers or just make a new chain.

Good point, I missed that tid-bit. Could very well be a bad chamfer on sprocket teeth, which I've read is critical to good sprocket performance. Especially in bikes where chain misalignment is expected.
