The driver does not have finite impedence, especially the further from DC you get. And this is at 20MHz! The Z of a 33pF cap at 20MHz is somewhere around 200 Ohms. The output Z of the PIC at that frequency is at least that. And it's not capacitive. Certainly it can be complicated if you want to make it complicated. Nice try though.
