@Milo I think your animations are the culprit:
Because you have animations that change size each frame, you might want to try creating a hidden “body sprite” that you use for all of your physics and a second “display sprite” that just animates.
Here’s some example code demonstrating what I mean:

The sprite on the left is actually two sprites; one is running an animation that changes size each frame and the other doesn’t animate at all. We do all of the physics/controls/overlaps etc. on the sprite that doesn’t change while the animating sprite is just placed on top of the non-animating one each frame.
The buggy sprite on the right uses one sprite for both animations and physics and it jitters/teleports whenever the current frame in the animation changes size
