I watched the videos again, and here's my guess.

"You will hear one click when the cylinder is indexed, and another click after I wiggle the cylinder. After this second click, the cylinder always rotates on the first full. But before this second click, the cylinder will not rotate on first pull."

Click 1: I think the cylinder is NOT indexed after this click. See if the bolt jumps up and hits the cylinder (making the click) without entering the notch.

Click 2: That might be the bolt jumping into the cylinder notch to index the cylinder after you twist it a bit. This may be why the gun works after it is "really" indexed.
