If I were to prepend the network 1.1.1.0 to come in on 'sprint 1', but have a route to 2.2.2.0 via 'sprint 2' so that traffic comes in on one circuit but returns on the other, routing is broken. If I change my route so that packets directed to 2.2.2.0 return on the same circuit that the traffic is received on, everything works fine.

You might be running into uRPF (unicast reverse path forward verification).
