I've been using IP SLA for years (right now under 12.4) and I have not
seen behaviour that mirrors what you see. I often see one-way latency go
up without the other way doing so.
You should start by looking in "show ip sla (monitor) op" and see what
values you see in the router, that might give you more information
regarding where the problem might be (your polling system or if the IP SLA
agent is actually reporting what you see).
