A negative pitching moment wants to push the nose down; the lift is behind the CG.
I think that this can also happen when the disc is inadvertently released with a nose-down angle of attack that is below the zero lift AOA. In fact, I strongly suspect that is what is happening when people roll their wrist over, and cause an immediate turn to the right (likely in addition to some unintended anhyzer), and blame it on "OAT." In such a case, it isn't lift centered behind the spin axis, but negative lift centered forward of the spin axis that causes the early roll.
More speculation of course.
