How about sampling the wheel's tilt value at two consecutive frames and then pick the smaller angle difference to yield direction of movement?
E.g. if tilt1==10 and tilt2==60 then it could be a forward movement of 50 degrees or a backward movement of -310. Given low velocities and high framerate, the result should be the smaller one, i.e. 50 and thus it's moving forward.

As for constraint parameters (2nd axis limits, non-rotating slider, ball limits), I am sorry to tell you that there are no enhancements planned in the near future. One thing that's on my list is making the wheels more stable though.
