My Philips ML 160W through ND1000 filter
The filament and the arctube can be seen clearly.
I would still recommends to run this lamp base-up, since the filament is below the arctube and not around it.

Does this one extinguish when its tilted to the side like mine does?

Yes. When burned horizontally, its extinguish: link . But not always. Sometimes it only rectifies.

There’s no explanation anywhere that I can remember to explain this phenomenon?

Voltage change which normally doesn't affect a magnetic choke lamp because of the voltage spike created on every zero volt crossing of the waveform?

The problem is caused by hydrogen impurities that increases the ignition voltage and restriking voltage after every mains half-cycle, causing the arc to become unstable in non vertical position.
