Issue with Walthers Layout Control System Switch machine

I am attempting to use two LCS switch machines on a crossover operation (section 3.3 of the switch machine reference guide), i.e. triggering two machines with a single control operation. I have a Digitrax DCC system. The switch machines operate normally and without issue when used individually. No matter what order of connection, when connected for crossover operation the first machine in the chain operates normally always, but the second machine "twitches" or constantly makes small movements in one direction of throw. When this happens, a yellow indicator light also flashes on the switch machine that is twitching.

I have a total of four switch machines currently and this occurs no matter which two I attempt to use for the crossover operation. All other options, such as daisy chaining power connections and fascia mounted indicators work as expected.

Any solutions or ideas?
