Sounds like a switch bounce issue. Without specs on the new encoders I can only guess.
I am curious as to why the de-bounce caps have to be changed out? 
You could try changing out U6 and U13.  These are 74LS14 chips. (74HC14 will work fine). 
They are available from digi-key and cost very little money.  I have found this fixes a lot of troublesome 
encoders on Xpanders/M12s

Subject: [xpantastic] encoder even or odd numbers
 
  
hey does anyone know why the new encoders i had put in would settle (click) on even or odd numbers?
you can see the in-between numbers as you turn them but they won't click on 1,2,3,4,5,6.
with a little fiddling you can get them to change from odd/even , so it's not a total disaster but they are certainly not working as they should and it's frustrating.
i spoke with syntaur and they were extremely helpful but we still are in the dark.
thanks for any help-
