If I were to guess, I'd say that what's going on is that you're not imparting pure torque to these things (that is, just clockwise/counterclockwise rotation) but instead are also including some kind of non-zero net force as well. I suspect that force is going to go different ways depending on how you're spinning it. Out of curiosity, does it matter which hand you use to spin them?

This makes no difference whatsoever, doesn't matter how you spin the magnets, they will always move in the same direction.
