I use the Kato double track with superelevation as my test circuit, and I found that Revolution's Sturgeon wagons would uncouple on the transitions, which I eventually attributed to the fact that they are so long that one was at full tilt while the one behind was still flat, causing too much twist on the couplings. Just something else to chuck into the calculations.

Did you use the transition rail piece ( in video) to link flat  and superelevated sections?
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;

Yes, you pretty much have to, because the canted tracks on the superelevated curves don't connect to straight flat sections at all well.
