Hi,
You expect variation at the output of PA many times. Is the gain stable?
Do check the quality of interconnections? I donto think that the DC has a problem (I assume frequency is OK).

This coupler is dedicated mainly for PCS applications (1900MHz). At this frequency an important factor that will affect VSWR reading, is the layout and a proper terminations at each port of the coupler.
 

May be your problem is not a coupler?
For good VSWR check accuracy of the PA you need to have a good analog part of the VSWR check system, also. Check: detector, amplifier, reference source and other parts.
