I just took delivery of a MMr. I have noticed that some balls from the peasant ramp or catapult travel the ramp and into the wireform, whereupon it hits the end of the wireform and bounces to the outlane instead of dropping into the inlane, such as in the picture below. Note that the ball does not bounce from the inlane to the outlane - the ball bounces straight from the wireform to the outlane.

Is this part of the character of Medieval Madness or is there some adjustment that I can make?

Edit: the right wire (that the ball rolls on top of) appears to be elevated compared to the left wire. This appears to be launching the ball upward and leftward. The solution is to re-bend the wireform to straighten this out.

I had the same issue with the ball bouncing out of the wire form and right into the outlane exactly as you describe. However the root cause for mine was a chunk of welding slag (maybe?) on one of the rails. It was hard to see and I only found it by running my fingers along the track. I filed it down and it now runs smooth.
