This is quite a long shot, but i'll give it a go none the less:

Has anyone considered the possibility that the Lion is corrupted by Malal/Malice? I mean, that could explain his fierce actions against any, even slightly suspected, suspected Chaos threat, while still allowing him to be loyal to the Emperor. At the time of the Heresy, the Lion's actions (I still don't quite get why he sent so many of his most experienced forces back to Caliban - "to train new recruits" seems like an insufficient explanation) have led his legion into anarchy. And Malal is a god of anarchy. that bombing of Caliban also seems to point this way. Maybe the Lion is corrupted but even he doesn't know about it. An unwilling puppet (though that could be a sign of corruption by Tzeench, I mean who else loves to do weird plots :P).

Yeah, like I said, long shot, but still this thread all about speculation anyway ;)
