Another suspicious one. Should be able to do a single pi rotation on either side of
sx

I suspect that the reason there are factors of greater than 2pi in the equivalence library is because a rotation of 2pi doesn't actually bring the wavefunction to its original state; instead, e.g., for RZGate, it leads to the wavefunction picking up a global phase of -1. The rotation must be by an angle of 4pi to bring its state completely to where it began (see also: the mathematics of spinors). Even though a rotation by 2pi leads to a global phase of -1, this will not result in any difference in the state that is actually physically observable, but nonetheless Qiskit carefully keeps track of global phases, and I believe this is one instance of where that leads to some rotation angles that seem a bit atypical.
Here's a quick sanity check (in julia) given the RZGate definition of a rotation by 2pi:
