Are you routing your PWM wires parallel with all of your power wires to the motors? The induced current could mess with the signal, but if you're not running them I doubt this would occur. Just controls food for thought.

That being said, do calibrate them. If the calibration is such that a zero signal is right on the line in the talon of neutral/reverse, it would probably bounce between them as you said.
