After a quick look at NewtonIntegrator.cpp:239, I have the impression
that you need to also (or even "only")  initialize the angular momentum
consistently with angular velocity.

Aspherical rotation computation is giving  angVel as result, not as an input value. I think Sergei Dorofeenko wrote this code, and could tell if everything is as he expected or if it should be modified.
It is not obvious for the user that initial state must be defined differently depending on the "aspherical" property. There is (at least) place for improvement in the documentation.
