robot_localization producing 180° rotation jumps only when static publishing map->odom

edit

I have configured world_frame=odom. When I statically publish TF map->odom my output of ekf_localization_node is jumping a lot. I've looked all over for the problem but I am stuck!

Here's an 8 second streamable video of the problem seen in rviz: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6qI...

When I comment out...

<node pkg="tf2_ros" type="static_transform_publisher" name="map_to_odom" args="0 0 0 0 0 0 1 map odom" />

...the problem goes away and I see good, stable, filtered odom.
