Are you using a torque wrench to tighten the 3 Allen WP bolts? If not, maybe you're not getting them tight enough. There's a side force from the tension of the belt pulling at the WP that's working against those bolts. That extra force might be throwing you off relative to how much torque to apply, especially the bottom bolt. And if the bolts aren't tight enough that might skew the WP just enough to allow the belt to walk. Only speculation here because I never had a belt walk on me, but I did use a torque wrench.

But if you're certain those bolt are tight, then keep the top timing belt cover off, have someone else start it up while you're watching the belt, and have a hand signal ready to get it shut down in a hurry if you see any movement of the belt at the sprockets.
