I think what you're seeing is caused by low a PWM switching frequency. If a speed controller's PWM period is too long, longer than the current rise/fall time caused by inductance, you don't get the smoothing you would with a higher PWM frequency.

Best way to check if the duty cycle is linear would be to use an oscilloscope.
