In all of your descriptions, I think you're right but also think that'll make for some ugly flying

I think a lot of people are thinking of this maneuver as a 3 of 4 point roll followed by a 3 of 4 point roll opposite and thus want to put an extended line between the two sets of 3 of 4 point rolls.  Since these are three 1/4 rolls, there is no requirement to extend the line after the 3rd 1/4 roll to make it "symmetrical" and thus the roll reversal should start immediately after the plane finishes the third 1/4 roll.

As an example, this would be identical to the placement of a double immelman on center - 1/2 the maneuver will be to the left of center and the other half of the maneuver will be to the right of center.
