Well that weird! Why would the Zen be VERY sensitive to compass errors? In fact how would the Zen even 'know' that there were, or were not any compass errors at all? The Zen has its own controller board mounted and its own sensors for camera vs airframe orientation. Any thoughts on why such an interaction would occur?

It does, and I'm a bit baffled by it as well. But don't forget the Zen 'talks' to the Naza. I tried the other day (while I was messing around with changing dampers) powering up the Zen completely mechanically but not electronically disconnected from the Phantom.
Now if it were completely independent (like theTarot) you would expect it to just level using it's own gyro etc. and move as I moved it by hand. However, what I found was that it 'fought' against my movements of it and responded to the movements of the phantom (which was sitting on the table next to it and connected umbilically by the 8 core wire. This suggests (and makes sense) that the Zen is getting it's gyro data from the Naza.
It's all a bit of a closed loop feedback scenario with all sensors playing a part.
