This could be your problem try tuning the bass first, as percentage wise more of the pianos tension is there - less of the seesaw affect on the back when doing a large pitch. Small seesaw movements in the back will effect to top treble more than the bass. You have just put a couple of tons of strain on the back so it will take time to settle as the top treb need the least movement to put it out, you should not be to concerned about it if it moves a little - Like David I. said, go back in 3 months if only to see if the pinblock has not puled away from the bracing's :-( I love big pitches winding bases up from the grave.
