Sounds like you have a few "breaks" in your embouchure and different notes like to to have different jaw positions.
Whatever you can do, like slurred chromatic scales, to keep your face steadier when you play would be a good idea to keep things stable.
The second paragraph is good. I have also been looking at the Thompson Buzzing book, even if you skip the buzzing and just do them on the trumpet, it helps with getting past the breaks. (that was his purpose in writing the book if you read the text) I have been doing this with the CD and it helps with intonation a lot too.
Another thing, buzz with the piano, or use the tuner noise maker as a drone. while practicing scales. (have it on the tonic of the scale in question)
I find that playing endlessly into the tuner ties me and students in knots and wind up in the "tuning game."
Hope this helps
Franklin
