I can relate about the over-correcting and detail displacement all too much. I too always seem to lose the energy and precision of the initial sketch/lines when painting over them.
I personally find it more effective in terms of precision and time to do a very thin lineart and masks or lasso tool to color under the lines: keeps things from displacing and actually helps stroke economy. The trick is not to rely on the lines too much and make sure that the figure reads well without the lines. But that's just my way for working around the problem; don't know if maybe this method or something similar could be useful to you for keeping things from moving off?
