My bet is the block to plate flange fit was not solid and kept shifting.  Been there done that. 
 In my case I ixed the issue with hard wood shims wedged up between the plate flange and the block. 
The piano was an early (ancient) 60s Yamaha

I tuned a small Kawai grand which was donated to a school. It took about 
four hours to get it where I could walk away. When I pulled up the 
treble (not too much), it went way sharp afterwards. I went over it 
again to lower the pitch and it went way flat. Pulled up...crept sharp 
but not as much. After the third or fourth pass thru the treble, the 
piano was good enough. I charged for the time. Never heard back from 
them...problem solved.

Maybe that's why it was donated.
