The issue of getting bucked was much more pronounced when I was using a reasonable rebound setting for most riding cases, much less so when I jacked the rebound damping to almost-full. The only changes I made were: Cascade link install, fewer volume spacers, small psi increase, and rebound returned to a more moderate position. Much better now. For reference, my damping tune is a VERY light stock tune from DVO/Ibis, and the compression is not adjustable.
Although I agree that compression plays a role here, I disagree with your point that rebound damping doesn't play a part in that scenario. It's pretty easy to play with the rebound knob and feel how that happens. And a shock jammed full of positive volume spacers certainly kicks a lot harder toward full compression than it does during the majority of the stroke.
