    Well, you are switching tracking points and that’s all that needs to be said. By cahnging the tracking points, you effectively cahnge the angular relation and in that case you simply cannot expect to get proper results. Split up the clip or track all trackers at once, than calculate your rotation by averaging their values using expressions. You can of course use alternative tracking tools such as PFHoe that support extrapolation of brocken track paths and try your luck.

    If you track rotation you can’t change your tracking positions as you have. A different spot on the same circle is traveling in a different vector (direction) than any other spot on that circle, even if sooner or later they move through the same points in space it happens at a different time.

    The sample clips show a chimney. The left and right sides of that object would be the best bet.

    Good Luck
