I'm not 100% sure these are bugs, but it feels like it. I couldn't find anyone else asking this, although it's possible I wasn't using the right keywords.
I have an HEQ5 pro driven by ASCOM and EQMOD. I have both SC and CDC connected to ASCOM/EQMOD HEQ5/6. I can slew the mount anywhere CDC commands. Using the navigation buttons in EQMOD I can also move the mount as expected.
When I first initiate SC and set the ASCOM track rate (eg sidereal), SC follows suit. However, if I attempt to use the scope controls in SC (N,S,E or W) the SC Track mode jumps to "?", even though the EQMOD display still shows sidereal.

A second issue is that I frequently get a "SyncToTarget() RaDec sync was rejected" error. I'm not sure if it's related to the 1st issue, but this error is intermittent. It will get into a mode when all attempts to plate solve, which for some unclear reason can take a while, and attempts to move to the new position are rejected. At other times it behaves nicely and does what is expected.
I use Bitdefender as my AV, but it was disabled for this log. There are no other AVs active. I also run my mount/SC and CDC remotely via AnyDesk on a Windows 10 laptop, but I've never had any issues with that aspect before.
Here's the pertinent snippet of the log:
