I'm worried about them twisting where they've been raised; does that make sense?

I think that's a fair concern. The mounts that the post fix into are rubber, so it would make sense to thing the extra leverage would cause movement.
I went down the Renthal Enduro High bars, so some height, rake and sweep changes. I've never see any movement, and the bike's front end is stripped right now for a fork rebuild, so I'd have noticed! If the risers are quality, then you should be OK, cheap with too much tolerance in manufacture and you might get movement.
The benefit of new bars is the sweep, so the bars come closer to you as they would with risers, but the sweep change makes holding the bars more natural/comfortable over the stock bars.
