I don't have the "pm_delay_follow" compound so can't verify what I'm going to suggest.  But are you sure you want to parent constrain the clusterHandle to the locator?  Why not just drive the clusterHandle directly with Bifrost?

Also another weird thing in the file is the driver is not constrained properly to the hips.  There was a huge offset when I opened your file.  But maintain offset was not set for the constraint so that was very strange.  When I deleted the constraint and recreated it, the driver snapped to the hip joint as it should.  So maybe there's some underlying strangeness in this file?
