Setting angular velocity (w) on instances

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in this scene?

It's a dummy scene with the same problem I ran in to and can't fix. I have a load of geometries which are pretty heavy and I want to instance them onto some moving and spinning points as packed disk prims.

I'm setting the rotation just by picking a random axis and an angle based on the frame number and setting orient. I'm using the same vector and floats to set 'w' in order that I can get correct motion blur but it's not correct - it seems that the geo is rotating around the wrong pivot. [In this scene it's not actually hugely obvious that it's wrong because the scale is small but my actual scene is in the thousands of units and it's very obvious].

If I copy and pack with a copy SOP it appears to be correct but not instancing. I suspect I need to edit some primintrinsics, eg pivot, but everything I've tried so far doesn't work and I can't spot any difference in the intrinsics for either method.

Any ideas welcome...

Thanks for reading
