Seems to follow accepted theory to me ...

At 20Hz the loadline is more vertical as expected, caused by the lower than ideal inductance. At the higher frequencies of the audio signal the loadline is more ideal but still elliptical caused by the limitations of the transformer (leakage C & L) at high and low frequency extremes.

I was more interested in what happened in your earlier example where the music was played simultaneously with the LF tones. As expected the music rode on the LF waveform which could aid to premature clipping as Paul pointed out.

However I believe that at any single point along the non ideal LF loadline the more ideal loadline for the higher audio frequencies is preserved. Thus lower distortion at mid frequencies as opposed to frequencies at the extremes.

The width of the the loadline at LF is concerning but perhaps just serves to highlight the limitations of transformers?
