Interesting.  I just picked it up gently and rotated it through 90 
degrees.  This has produced another 1.5 mV DAC step and corresponding 
temporary jumps in the PPs and Temp traces.

I seem to recall much bigger effects than this when adjusting ovens like 
the 10811 which I always would try to adjust in the orientation that 
they were to be finally used in, so I really shouldn't be surprised.
