One common theorized source of the anomalous thrust is that thermal effects endemic to the structure or components of the activated drive may alter the center of mass or otherwise influence the thrust reading.
Insert image from Reply #7 (RotoSequence) concerning the thermister data from the PZT Mach Effect Thruster from page 1.
