1. Given the lack of supply capacitor, the question MAY be "Why doesn't the
motor pump up the supply on motor overrun when the PWM is off ?"

The MOSFET body diodes allow regeneration into the bus.
Voltage magnitude does not equal power - so a voltage similar to or above
that seen during bridge-on does not equal that during bridge-off.

Do D1 and S1 play any role?
I assume that D1 is intended to prevent regenerated energy back feeding the
supply (in some cases magic smoke can happen (ask me how I know :-) )).
BUT what then should regenerated energy do?

2. Can you short S1 temporarily (as it is an overvoltage protector).
While it's not obvious why it would work in one motor direction and not the
other, what it DOES do is somewhat unknown.

3. Will the supply tolerate shorting D1?

4. I wondered if the motor may have an inbuilt parallel 'circulation' diode
- but, if so, it would get hardish to drive it backwards :-).
