I have seen this on my bike too and have always wondered how does the chain move that far to the side. I don't get it.

Same here, seen some cases of the chain grinding the chain guide bolt.

Low revs high load makes the chain bounce like crazy

Take a look at the aperture where the chain enters the swinarm too. This part of the swingarm may well be worn as well.
