It doesn't sound to me like you have what people normally refer to as a bent cantilever. I think that you are saying that it is straight until you set the stylus in the groove.
Anti-skating with a JMW arm should be set so that when the arm is unweighted (floating) and released at the innermost grooves, the arm should swing outward toward the outer edge of the record. That means that if it were set too aggressively, the cantilever would appear to deflect opposite from the way you describe. Checking this would rule out excessive lateral forces. Just keep in mind that air currents can rotate the arm when unweighted. There is very little friction in the unipivot bearing.
You say that the cartridge was recently serviced by Soundsmith. I would contact them. From what you describe, the suspension seems to be weak laterally. We usually think of a cartridge suspension that is weak kind of dragging. I am not cartridge repairman, but I would suspect something might be wrong with your cartridge.
Good luck.
