I'm thinking that a bit more compression damping on the shock might be in order, with a view to stopping the rear squatting or, conversely, the forks extending, on acceleration from the exit in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of tankslappers. On the right track, or barking up the wrong tree?

If the rear squatting is a problem and the rear ride height is maybe a bit lower than ideal, you may find the weight bias is favouring the rear and transfering to and fro under acceleration and braking a bit more than you want, possibly because the rear spring is having to carry a higher percentage of the weight. You may find a slightly stiffer spring will help.
