aaarrgghhh

It says that on the module!  Does that explain the strange responses or
just the flickering at full intensity?  What are the consequences of
running a lower wattage bulb, is the module at risk?  Given that I'm
going to dim it I suppose it's safe(ish) to replace the bulb with a 40W
one, thereby exceeding the maximum wattage of the lampholder?

LM12 has to have a minimum of 40W bulb.  Your lava lamp is probably 30W
or
35W which explains the strange behaviour.
