If there is a horizontal axis relative to the surface of Glorantha, then there will be observers directly "north" and "south" of the axis. These people will observe an approximately half moon endlessly rotating diesel or widdershins. Hardly a true phase progression. And though I'm having trouble visualizing your proposal, I don't think it results in phases anything like the ones depicted in the DP boardgame, frex, or much like Earth's Moon's.
