What arm/cart setting(s) are off when the cart mistracks in the final 25% of a record side?

It had enough travel, but the tonearm wire was causing the arm to be pulled towards the outside of the record, like a strong anti-skate setting.
Problem solved! It turned out that the tonearm wire was being pulled too tightly at the point where it left the back of the tonearm tube.

This was causing the tonearm to be pulled towards the outside of the record. This effect only would come into play towards the end of a record.

I created a little bit of slack in the tonearm wire and the problem completely went away.
