The rising humidity on the bedroom wall as you heated it indicates to me that there is still considerable moisture in your covering mass.  It would be nice to compare how the other bermed structures on the lab preform. Some I remember had air tubes in them to transfer heat which could also reduce moisture.  If I were building one I would defensively put tubes into the inner layer to be sure it was heat charged during the summer.

One confounding factor with the humidity is that I’m almost always boiling water when I’m using the stove.
