Not all walking feet are created equal. I have two Bernina machines, each with a walking foot. The older machine and walking foot does a wonderful job on straight line work but has some issues with the serpentine stitch. The newer machine and walking foot are different. The walking foot comes with 3 sole plates and each sole plate has a specific use. It does the serpentine stitch and other decorative stitches (forward moving stitches) beautifully. So, my choice of which to use depends on the outcome I am looking for. And, as mentioned before, speed is not a friend when using the walking foot.

Jacquie Gehring (sp?) has two classes in Craftsy and she does a lot of gentle curves with her walking foot. I think the key is to go slow. Now speed wouldn't cause the kind of problems the OP reported. I use mine to sew fancy stitches too and the ONLY thing mine will not do is sew any stitch that requires backward motion. Everything else works fine. I wonder if the thread jumped track or something else went haywire.
