Hmm... my first inclination would have been that the tripod had moved - and the blurred roofline to the side would seem to corroborate this, but that wouldn't explain why the star trails seemed to shif they way they did.
The only conclusion I can come to is that somehow the focal length was changed. Ie. he lens was somehow zoomed to only capture the sky and not anything else and thereby changing the pereived path of star trails.
Might I suggest trying to compose a similar shot but with a visual landscape? Shots of star trails tend to have much more visual impact when put in context with its surroundings and it'll also identify any areas of technique which need to be refined.
