#InterpolateKey?

Can someone familiar with the InterpolateKey command in Keyscripting help explain something for me? Because of some incorrect results I was getting with InterpolateKey (relative to what I thought I would get), I've been trying to figure out exactly what it does. I created a dummy object at 0,0,0 with an initial rotation of 0 at frame zero and 720 at frame 60. I ran a script that did nothing more than InterpolateKey at each frame and print out the resulting frame, angle, and axis. For frames 0-29, it gave me the results I expected. At frame 30, the angle reverted to 0 rather than the 360 I was looking for. Frames 30-45 incremented from 0 to 180. Frames 46 to 60 decremented back to 0 with the sign on the associated axis changed. Maybe it's just me, but something doesn't seem consistent here! Any insight would be appreciated.
