I think it unlikely that the fuel level within the tank stays parallel with the bottom of the tank throughout the manoeuvre.
I may be wrong and I may have wasted a day of my life.
In any event 3 x cross ways baffles are planned for the tank top to stop the sloshing forward under braking
I believe you are right. The steering input causes the bike to tilt and rotate about the centre of gravity. Depending where the fuel is relative to the centre of gravity the fuel could just be subjected to the tank rotating, but is more likely to think the tank has just lurched to left (Or right) as well.

It’s probably more noticeable on a very tall trailee, or enduro, but the more the fuel is able to rush to the sides of the tank is likely to add a vagueness to the steering.
